The Congress is demanding the resignation of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah following a Delhi court's decision to dismiss the Enforcement Directorate's charges of money laundering against Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi in the National Herald case. The party views this as vindication against alleged 'vendetta politics.'
Congress leaders, including party president Mallikarjun Kharge, have vowed to publicly protest what they call the misuse of central agencies to intimidate opposition leaders. They see the court's decision as an affirmation of their stance against politically-motivated harassment and have promised continued demonstrations across India.
The court's verdict exposed the baseless nature of the initial accusations, which lacked an FIR, emerging instead from a private complaint. Congress frames the ruling as a broader message against political overreach, with leaders asserting their intent to fight these battles both in the legal and public arenas.
