'Congress resisting the law': BJP's CR Kesavan slams Rahul and Sonia Gandhi over National Herald case

Speaking to ANI, BJP Spokesperson CR Kesavan said, "Rahul Gandhi and Sonia Gandhi, who are out on bail in the National Herald case, may be above the Constitutional rules of the dynastic Congress party but not above Babasaheb Ambedkar's Constitution. The Congress leadership should realise that today is not Indira Gandhi's emergency; today is Modi's fair and fearless Bharat, where everybody will be made answerable and accountable for their wrongdoings... Congress is trying to intimidate government agencies... This shows that they are trying to hide something... The Congress party is resisting the law of the land... They should know that truth triumphs, but falsehoods never triumph..."

Kesavan said that the Congress party is trying to avoid legal action and is not above the Constitution. He added that this is not the time of Indira Gandhi's Emergency but a time when everyone is held accountable in Modi's fair and fearless Bharat.

Earlier today, the Congress Party launched a massive protest against the Central government and investigative agencies.

The protest follows the ED filing a chargesheet against Congress leaders Rahul and Sonia Gandhi in connection with the National Herald. Protests have been organised across the country, with several prominent leaders leading them.

In Delhi, some of the Congress leaders were detained by the Delhi Police as they attempted to breach security cordons near the Congress office.
