New Delhi, July 18 . Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi today strongly condemned the latest chargesheet filed against his brother-in-law and businessman Robert Vadra, calling it part of a decade-long campaign of political harassment by the Central government.
In a statement on X, Gandhi said, “My brother-in-law has been hounded by this government for the last ten years. This latest chargesheet is a continuation of that witch hunt.”
Expressing solidarity with his family, Gandhi added, “I stand with Robert, Priyanka, and their children as they face yet another onslaught of malicious, politically motivated slander and harassment.”
“I know that they are all brave enough to withstand any kind of persecution, and they will continue to do so with dignity,” he stated.
“The truth will eventually prevail,” the Raebareli MP added.
Moreover, Congress general secretary KC Venugopal too described the Enforcement Directorate (ED) action as a clear case of “political vendetta”.
On X, Venugopal said, “It seems the Modi-Shah duo has given the ED a monthly assignment to go after the Congress senior leadership and their family. The latest ED action against Mr Robert Vadra is pure political vendetta – yet another futile attempt at intimidation.”
The ED has filed a chargesheet against Robert Vadra in connection with a high-profile land scam in Gurugram, Haryana. The charges pertain to allegations of corruption, forgery, cheating, and money laundering. Several other individuals and entities have also been named in the chargesheet, including real estate giant DLF and former Haryana Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda.
