CM Warned over alleged misuse of central agencies to settle scores with political rivals
Rajasthan Chief Minister and Congress veteran Ashok Gehlot has strongly condemned the questioning of party leader Rahul Gandhi in connection with the alleged National Herald money laundering case by the Enforcement Directorate.
According to the statement, Gehlot warned Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the alleged misuse of central agencies to settle scores with political rivals.
"Law is the same for everyone but questioning someone till midnight is wrong. Which crime or money laundering has taken place? Where there is loot of trillions, they do not inquire," Rajasthan Chief Minister was quoted as saying by ANI.
Gehlot made these remarks came in wake of Rahul Gandhi`s questioning by the ED in the National Herald case. He also asked the Prime Minister to address other issues in the country.
Be it the BJP or the RSS, everyone is looting, they are not paying attention to it. Prime Minister should come forward and address inflation, unemployment, tension, violence," he added.
Rahul Gandhi left the Enforcement Directorate office in Delhi after 10 hours of questioning in the National Herald case and has been asked to rejoin the investigation again on Tuesday.
