New Delhi [India], April 18 (ANI): Delhi BJP President Virendra Sachdeva on Friday questioned why the Congress party is trying to obstruct the investigation if it has done nothing wrong, in relation to the ongoing National Herald case.

He highlighted the alleged undervaluation of a property worth Rs 2000 crore as Rs 50 lakhs, stating that the investigation agencies have the right to investigate such discrepancies

Speaking to ANI, Sachdeva said, If they have done anything, then why are they so afraid? If a property worth Rs 2000 crore is shown as Rs 50 lakhs, then they have to answer to the investigation agencies.'

He described it as a case of 'betrayal of the nation, corruption, robbery, and conspiracy'. The Enforcement Directorate filed a prosecution complaint against Congress leaders Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi in this money laundering case.

'National Herald is a case of betrayal to the nation, corruption, robbery and conspiracy. It is a money laundering case. The complaint was filed in 2012-13 when the Congress was in power. The Congress went to the HC, but its petition was rejected and the court said that the inquiry was going in the right direction...,'said the Delhi BJP Chief.

On Friday, several Indian Youth Congress members blocked a railway track and halted a train in Patna while protesting the Enforcement Directorate's (ED) charge sheet against Congress leaders Rahul Gandhi and Sonia Gandhi in the alleged National Herald case.

The protestors climbed the train deck and began chanting slogans of 'ED-shahi nahi chalegi! (ED rule will not be tolerated!)'. Police officials entered the scene and walked the protestors away from the rail track, clearing the way.

On April 15, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) filed a prosecution complaint (chargesheet) against top Congress members Rahul Gandhi and Sonia Gandhi in connection with the National Herald money laundering case.

The chargesheet also names Congress leader Sam Pitroda, Suman Dubey and others, including several firms.

The matter has been listed for arguments on cognisance in the Delhi Rouse Avenue Court on April 25.

The prosecution complaint has been filed under Sections 44 and 45 of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), 2002, for the offence of money laundering, as defined under Section 3, read with Section 70, and punishable under Section 4 of the PMLA, 2002.

The complaint was filed by BJP leader Subramanian Swamy against Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi, their associated companies, and other individuals. (ANI)
