Political Accusations Sparks Debate: Gandhi Family Faces New FIR in National Herald Case

The Delhi Police has lodged an FIR against Sonia and Rahul Gandhi concerning the National Herald case, stirring allegations of political vendetta by the Congress party. Congress leaders decry the charges as unfounded, asserting that the case lacks substance and predicting eventual justice. The FIR raises questions about misuse of power.

The filing of a First Information Report (FIR) by Delhi Police against Sonia and Rahul Gandhi in the ongoing National Herald case has sparked new allegations from the Congress party. Senior leaders have accused the ruling party, led by Prime Minister Modi and Home Minister Shah, of orchestrating a campaign of intimidation targeting the party's top echelon.

Congress claims that the charges represent nothing more than political harassment, pointing out that the allegations of money laundering stand on questionable grounds. They argue that no actual funds were misappropriated or converted illegally, rendering the case baseless and predicting that justice will ultimately prevail.

The FIR comes on the heels of a complaint by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) and includes a slew of charges ranging from criminal conspiracy to cheating. This further intensifies the political climate, drawing sharp criticism from prominent figures, including Congress leader Pramod Tiwari, who lambasted the government for allegedly using tactics reminiscent of colonial rule.
