Sirsa, (Haryana) [India], April 16 (ANI): Congress MP Kumari Selja on Wednesday said that the chargesheet filed against the Gandhis by the Enforcement Directorate in the National Herald case is 'politically motivated'.

Speaking to the ANI, Selja says, 'This is only politically motivated; they (BJP) are taking such action out of fear of the truth of the Congress party and Rahul Gandhi. The Congress party will not accept the chargesheet filed against Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi.'

MP further extended support to the protests launched by the Congress Party against the chargesheet.

She added, 'We will have to take to the streets... we will fight for the truth... when the British did not suppress us, we will not be suppressed by their oppressive policies either.'

Following the chargesheet, the Congress Party has launched a massive protest against the Central government and investigative agencies. Protests have been organised across the country, with several prominent leaders at the forefront.

In Delhi, the Delhi Police detained some of the Congress leaders as they attempted to breach security cordons near the Congress office. Congress leader Amit Chavda criticised the Enforcement Directorate's (ED) prosecution complaint against the Gandhis, calling it a politically motivated move aimed at diverting public attention from key national issues.

Party MP Imran Pratapgarhi alleged that the ED action was being carried out as the BJP was sensing defeat in the upcoming elections in Bihar and Assam.

Congress leader Sachin Pilot said, 'This is a politically motivated case. We have faith in the judicial system. We will fight it out legally... Rahul Gandhi and Sonia Gandhi have been purposefully targeted. This has been done to suppress the voice of the opposition...'

On Tuesday, the ED filed a prosecution complaint (chargesheet) in Delhi's Rouse Avenue Court against Rahul Gandhi, Sonia Gandhi, 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.

In response, Congress strongly protested the move and is scheduled to hold a nationwide protest on Wednesday in front of the Enforcement Directorate (ED) offices at the district level in respective states against the BJP-led government.

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