With the Enforcement Directorate (ED) reportedly issuing a notice to a firm allegedly linked to Robert Vadra in Rajasthan’s Bikaner city, Haryana senior Minister Anil Vij on Wednesday lashed out at the Congress saying that Congress president Sonia Gandhi’s son-in-law is a ‘shahi damaad’ (royal son-in-law) and Congress governments in various states acted like ‘land mafia’ in allotting land to him in dowry.

Talking to the mediapersons here, Haryana Health Minister Vij said that “Robert Vadra is a ‘shahi damaad’ and there is a tradition in India of giving something to son-in-laws in dowry. Taking a pot-shot on the previous Congress government in Rajasthan and Haryana, Vij said, “The Congress government, which gifted land to their 'shahi damaad' misusing its power, is coming to the fore from various places now.”

He alleged that land was looted under the Congress regimes, which worked like land mafia in various States.
