Rahul Gandhi was questioned for nearly eight hours by the probe agency on Tuesday. The case relates to alleged misappropriation of funds by the Gandhis in the party-backed Young Indian’s takeover of the National Herald publisher Associated Journals, reports India’s Press Trust of India (PTI).
Top Congress leaders – including party spokesperson Randeep Surjewala – were detained for a second straight day on Tuesday. P Chidambaram, KC Venugopal have been allegedly mandhandled amid the stir in the party’s top leadership meeting at its headquarters in New Delhi.
Meanwhile, the Congress has not backed down from criticising the government’s announcements. The party criticised 10 lakh jobs in 1.5 years and a new military recruitment model as ‘maha jumlas’.
“Why did it take you 8 years to realize that giving Govt jobs is a possibility?” asks senior Congress leader Mallikarjun Kharge. “Delivered: the worst ever unemployment crisis,” he writes in a scathing attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
