Congress Protests Nationwide Against ED in National Herald Case
The Congress party is very upset because the Enforcement Directorate (ED) is investigating Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi in a case about the National Herald newspaper.
The Congress says the ED is being unfair and is doing this because the BJP government doesn't like them.
A court said the ED's case is not proper because there is no official police report (FIR) to support it.
The Congress is planning big protests in many states to show they are not happy.
They even want the Prime Minister and the Home Minister to resign.
The BJP says the Gandhi family is corrupt and the case is not over yet.
The protests are happening in front of BJP offices in places like Delhi, Karnataka, Haryana, Rajasthan, and Uttar Pradesh.
The Congress leaders say the court's decision proves they are innocent and the BJP is trying to hurt them unfairly.
Congress protests nationwide against ED actions in National Herald case.
Delhi court declined to take cognisance of ED's complaint due to lack of FIR.
Congress alleges political vendetta and misuse of ED by BJP-led government.
Protests held in multiple states, including Karnataka, Haryana, Rajasthan, and Uttar Pradesh.
