Hyderabad, July 19 (Maxim News): Accusing the BJP government at the Centre of targeting the Nehru-Gandhi family on baseless allegations, Congress MP & former TPCC President N. Uttam Kumar Reddy asked the party cadre to participate in the nationwide protest on July 21 and 22. Congress president Sonia Gandhi will be visiting the Enforcement Directorate’s office on July 21 in response to the summons sent by the ED in the National Herald case.
Addressing the media through Zoom App on Tuesday, Uttam Kumar Reddy alleged that the BJP Govt was using Central agencies, especially the Enforcement Directorate, as a tool to target the Opposition leaders. He said the allegations of money laundering in the National Herald case by the Enforcement Directorate were completely false. He said there was no basis for the ED or any other Central agency to question Congress president Sonia Gandhi or Rahul Gandhi. He pointed out that the National Herald issue was a simple debt-to-equity conversion with absolutely no transaction of money. Since no money was involved in the transaction, the question of money laundering does not arise, he added.
Uttam Kumar Reddy said the BJP Govt has been using the ED only to defame the Nehru-Gandhi family, demoralise the Congress cadre and divert the people’s attention from real issues like rising inflation, China’s intrusion into India and so on. He said debt-to-equity conversion was a regular process which lending banks do frequently, he said Prime Minister Narendra Modi Govt has revived the National Herald issue which was earlier closed.
“Congress leaders and the entire cadre will never allow the BJP Govt to harass Sonia Gandhi. We will hold protests across the country on July 21 and 22 to express our solidarity with our leader and also to convey a message that we will not bow down to the intimidating tactics of the Modi Govt,” he added.
“Entire population of Telangana supports Sonia Gandhi as she has turned our 60-year-old dream of Telangana into a reality. She gave a big political sacrifice by bifurcating Andhra Pradesh. Despite knowing well that the party will lose power in Andhra Pradesh, she created Telangana only to fulfil the aspirations of the people. It was the political will of Sonia Gandhi which led to the creation of Telangana. Therefore, we will stage a strong protest across Telangana State against the BJP Govt which is trying to defame her on baseless allegations,” he said.
Uttam Kumar Reddy pointed out that it was under Sonia Gandhi’s leadership that the then Congress-led UPA Govt introduced revolutionary laws and measures like MGNREGS, the Food Security Act, Right to Information Act (RTI), Right to Education (RTE), etc, to empower the people. “Unlike BJP Govt, which is exploring various means to harass the opposition parties, especially Congress, the UPA Govt focussed on empowerment of common people during its 10-year regime. By trying to implicate Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi in a non-existent case, the BJP Govt is trying to downplay their contribution to nation-building. This is a part of BJP’s conspiracy to distort history of India,” he said while adding that the BJP would fail in all its attempts. The Congress MP urged the entire cadre of Telangana Congress to participate in the protests on 21st and 22nd July in large numbers to express their solidarity with Sonia Gandhi. (Maxim News)
