The Congress has demanded Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah’s resignation after a Delhi court refused to take cognisance of the ED’s money laundering charge against Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi in the National Herald case.
The opposition party also vowed to expose the “vendetta politics” against its leadership, asserting that the Congress cadre is agitated and is going to show its strength against the “misuse of agencies.”
“We will keep fighting them both inside and outside Parliament and teach them a lesson,” party president Mallikarjun Kharge said at a press conference.
In a relief to Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi and five others, a Delhi court on Tuesday refused to take cognisance of the Enforcement Directorate’s money laundering charge against them in the National Herald case, holding that the agency’s probe stemmed from a private complaint and not an FIR.
“I want to say that after this judgement Modi and Shah should resign because it is like a slap on their face. They should give resignation as they should not harass people like this,” Kharge said at the press conference, which he addressed with party leaders K C Venugopal, Abhishek Singhvi, Jairam Ramesh, and Pawan Khera
“They should know that if they do such things people will not tolerate it,” he said.
Kharge said the Congress has been fighting the issue politically by taking out marches when the top leadership was summoned by the probe agencies.
“We have been fighting on the streets, in Parliament, outside it, and will continue to do it and teach them a lesson,” he said.
Venugopal asserted that the Congress will expose the “vendetta politics” of the Modi government.
The entire Congress cadre is agitated and will show its strength all over India against the “misuse of agencies.”
