The ED had summoned Rahul Gandhi for the fourth time on June 17. However, he had requested to defer his questioning citing his mother Sonia Gandhi's health condition. Sonia Gandhi has been in the hospital due to Covid-linked issues since June 12. She has also been summoned for questioning on June 23.
Meanwhile, amid Congress' protests over ED questioning Gandhi, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) spokesperson Sambit Patra on Monday said 'law is equal for all". "No one is Queen Victoria or Prince in this country that they won't be probed, law is equal for all. Everyone is probed for corruption...The public knows about the involvement of a family and Rahul Gandhi's role in misusing the country's money through the National Herald scam. It is natural that if corruption is done then there will be an inquiry," he told ANI.
