The political landscape in India heats up as Congress leaders from Madhya Pradesh respond vehemently to the Enforcement Directorate's charges against Sonia and Rahul Gandhi in the National Herald case. This legal move is perceived by Congress as a political conspiracy engineered by the ruling BJP to weaken opposition voices.
The charge sheet, filed under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, implicates the Nehru-Gandhi family in laundering vast sums, which Congress leaders assert is baseless. Former chief minister Kamal Nath voices his concern over what he calls a deliberate attempt to damage the Gandhi family's reputation. Historical parallels are drawn with past controversies involving the family.
State BJP President Vishnu Dutt Sharma describes the ED's actions as a legal necessity, questioning the rise of a company linked to the Gandhis. This ongoing political saga underscores the deep-seated rivalry between the Congress and the BJP, with the ED being labeled as a tool for political vendetta by Congress leaders.
