All the Congress Parliamentarians and members of the Congress Working Committee (CWC) will march along with Rahul Gandhi to the office of the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in Delhi on Monday, June 13, to highlight how the Modi Government is misusing probe agencies to target the Opposition leaders.
Party workers led by the State unit chiefs will also hold similar protests in front of the ED’s offices across the country.
The ED has summoned Rahul and party chief Sonia Gandhi in connection with a case of alleged money laundering linked to the National Herald newspaper.
The Congress took the decision to hold a protest march at a “virtual” meeting of the senior party leaders, party MPs and State unit chiefs and general secretaries in-charge. The meeting was called to prepare for the second leg of the “Jan Jagran Abhiyan”, an agitation programme against inflation, but then it was decided to expand the protest base and hit the streets across the country to make people aware how the BJP Government is misusing the machineries to target people and victimise them, said a source who was part of meeting.
Congress interim president Sonia was to appear before the ED on Thursday but due to being infected by Covid she has sought more time.
