New Delh, Aug 4: Following the sealing of the Young Indian office in Delhi by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) due to a case involving the National Herald newspaper, Congress MPs will meet today to deliberate their plan of action.
According to sources in the Enforcement Directorate, the Young Indian’s office at Delhi’s Herald House was temporarily sealed off because on Tuesday and Wednesday there was no one from their side in whose presence searches could be performed.
To get the search over with, the chief officer, senior party leader Mallikarjun Kharge, has been called. The seal will be lifted as soon as the authorised person shows up to finish the search, according to sources.
Additionally, Sonia Gandhi’s home was under intense security, and the roads leading to the Congress’s headquarters were momentarily blocked off.
The Congress said that the government had placed the party “under siege” and that Sonia Gandhi, the party’s leader, and Rahul Gandhi’s homes had been surrounded as though they were “terrorists.”
Days after Congress President Sonia Gandhi was questioned in connection with the issue, the investigation agency conducted searches on Tuesday at 12 locations in the capital city and other areas.
Earlier, the ED also spent over 50 hours questioning Rahul Gandhi, Sonia Gandhi’s son and a former leader of the Congress.
