Will keep fighting govt, law has spoken louder than noise: Congress
A day after a Delhi court declined to take cognisance of ED’s complaint against senior Congress leaders Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi and five others in an alleged Rs 2,000-crore money laundering case, Congress Wednesday said it will expose the “vendetta politics” against its top leadership as it demanded that PM Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah resign.
“We are fighting politically. We will keep fighting them, both inside and outside the Parliament, and also on the streets and will teach them a lesson,” Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge said at a press conference at his residence, where other senior party leaders K C Venugopal, Abhishek Singhvi, Jairam Ramesh and Pawan Khera were also present. “After this judgment, Modi and Shah should resign because the court decision is like a slap on their face,” Kharge said.

Singhvi, who had argued the case in the court, said “the law has spoken louder than the noise and fiction”, and termed the National Herald case a story of “political vendetta and harassment”. “They made a money-laundering mansion on the quicksand of an absent and elusive FIR. There is no FIR. Investigative overreach has met judicial oversight. Courts are not theatres for political scripts.” Singhvi said that from 2021 to 2025, Sonia, Rahul, Kharge and several others were questioned for almost 90 hours, “only to harass and embarrass them and create a climate against them”.
