This is revenge politics – KC Venugopal
In the notice issued by Congress leader KC Venugopal, it has been said that “The property of National Herald has been seized arbitrarily and unjustly by the Modi government. Along with this, a chargesheet has been given against the party leadership. Congress condemns this move. This is not a matter of legal process but a state-sponsored crime in the name of rule of law. This move is a direct attack on the idea of democratic opposition and an attempt to intimidate by the ruling party. This is nothing but revenge politics.”
Instruction to protest
The notice issued by KC Venugopal said- “All Pradesh Congress Committees are instructed to protest in front of ED offices in the respective states and in front of Central Government offices at the district level on Wednesday, 16 April. Senior leaders, MLAs, MPs and other office bearers and Congress workers of the respective state should join this protest and register strong protest against the government’s revenge and intimidation politics.”
What did the BJP say?
On this entire matter, BJP leader Gaurav Vallabh said- “ED is working according to the law. Strict action will be taken by law against those involved in money laundering in the National Herald case. No one can be spared just because he belongs to a particular family. Meanwhile, BJP MP Dinesh Sharma said, “Whether it is a big person, a leader, an officer or a common man, the action of the law is the same for everyone. The institutions are completely independent. Neither the government puts pressure on them nor do they take instructions directly from the government. This matter is not politically motivated.”
