Thakur mentioned that the Gandhi family has repeatedly approached the lower courts seeking to quash proceedings initiated before the BJP government came to power in 2014.
Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) politician Anurag Thakur on Friday remarked on Congress alleging that the National Herald Case is politically motivated. He said during a press conference that he dares Congress - 바카라caught stealing red-handed yet again바카라 - to move the courts for a quick and time-bound disposal of cases.
The National Herald case involves the Enforcement Directorate (ED) naming Congress leaders Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi in a corruption case involving the English newspaper National Herald.
바카라If they have guts, they should do it,바카라 Thakur said, adding that in the 바카라Congress model of corruption바카라 the thieves make a lot of noise. He said, 바카라The National Herald case has stunned the Congress ecosystem into silence.바카라
Thakur mentioned that the Gandhi family has repeatedly approached the lower courts seeking to quash proceedings initiated before the BJP government came to power in 2014."The courts have not granted them any relief, other than bail," The Hindu quoted him, stating that the judiciary has not interfered in the ED바카라s investigation.
Thakur said that the Gandhi family used the newspaper as an ATM, accusing Congress바카라 state chief ministers of spending public money as advertisement into the weekly newspaper which did not have much readership.
바카라Both Gandhis together owned 76% of the Young Indian company which was given ₹50 lakh loan by the Congress. The company then took over the Associated Journals Limited, which owns the newspaper affiliated to the Congress, in lieu of ₹90 crore it owed to the Opposition party,바카라 he said, asking if it is legal for any political parties to hand out loans?
The ED claims that Rahul Gandhi and Sonia Gandhi owned a company called Young Indian Pvt. Ltd. (YIL) in which they hold 76% stake in order to buy out Associated Journals Limited (AJL). AJL published National Herald along with 'Qaumi Awaz' in Urdu and 'Navjeevan' in Hindi.
The ED launched its investigation in 2021 after the Metropolitan Magistrate at Delhi바카라s Patiala House Courts took cognisance of a private complaint filed by BJP leader Subramanian Swamy on June 26, 2014. The ED alleges that YIL, a private firm "beneficially owned" by the Gandhi family, allegedly acquired properties worth ₹2,000 crore from AJL for just ₹50 lakh - a deal critics claim significantly undervalued the assets.
