AICC general secretary Deepa Dasmunshi condemns the ED chargesheet against Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi as politically motivated. She asserts no funds were laundered, labeling BJP's actions a diversion from major national issues. She emphasizes the case's lack of merit and defends Congress's integrity.

The Indian National Congress has lashed out at the Enforcement Directorate's chargesheet that accuses former party chiefs Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi of involvement in the National Herald case, terming it a 'political vendetta' orchestrated by the central government.

During a press conference, AICC general secretary Deepa Dasmunshi claimed that the BJP and its affiliates are engaged in a smear campaign, labeling Congress leaders as 'money launderers'. Dasmunshi asserted that no financial transactions occurred to substantiate these accusations.

Furthermore, Dasmunshi accused the BJP-led government of attempting to distract from pressing national issues like unemployment and an economic crisis by perpetuating this 'fake narrative'. She also addressed queries regarding similar situations, maintaining that assessments should rely on the individual merit of each case.
