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”.
She said, “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.”
The 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.
