NEW DELHI: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, who was questioned for over 10 hours by the Enforcement Directorate in a money-laundering probe linked to the National Herald newspaper, is being questioned by the central agency at its office here on Tuesday. Congress leader Randeep Surjewala today said that the ED probe against Rahul Gandhi is an ''attempt to muzzle his voice'' as he has always questioned the Narendra Modi govt on issues like China capturing our territory, inflation, fuel price hike, unemployment, and religious vendetta. Rahul Gandhi's questioning by the ED is 'unconstitutional and malicious', the Congress leader said.
Rahul Gandhi appeared before the central probe agency for the first time for questioning on Monday, accompanied by a battery of leaders including sister Priyanka Gandhi Vadra and escorted by armed CRPF personnel. He was given an 80-minute break in the afternoon. He left the ED office around 11.10 pm after questioning.
Hundreds of Congress workers in Delhi and state capitals took to the streets and several senior leaders, including Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot, Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel, Randeep Surjewala and K C Venugopal, were detained here amid a massive show of strength by the party which had called for the Satyagraha march against the ED summons. The top leaders of the party were released from police detention around 11.30 pm soon after Rahul Gandhi left the Enforcement Directorate office.
