Defending Robert Vadra, Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi said that his brother-in-law has been hounded by the Narendra Modi government over the last decade and that “truth shall prevail”
His comments come a day after the Enforcement Directorate (ED) filed a chargesheet against Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra’s husband, businessman Robert Vadra, in connection with a money laundering case related to a 3.53-acre land deal in Shikohpur village in Gurugram, Haryana, in 2008.
In a post on X, Mr. Gandhi said, “My brother-in-law has been hounded by this government for the last ten years. This latest chargesheet is a continuation of that witch hunt.”
Extending full support to Mr. Vadra, Mr. Gandhi wrote, “I stand with Robert, Priyanka and their children as they face yet another onslaught of malicious, politically motivated slander and harassment.”
He also commended their courage in facing the alleged persecution. “I know that they are all brave enough to withstand any kind of persecution and they will continue to do so with dignity. The truth will eventually prevail,” Mr. Gandhi said.
