The Enforcement Directorate (ED) summoned Congress leaders Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi in connection with a money laundering case pertaining to the National Herald newspaper which is promoted by the Congress party.
In the above context, a video of Sonia Gandhi has gone viral on social media in which she says, “I am Indira Gandhi’s daughter-in-law. I am not scared of anyone.”
The video is being shared with a claim that this is how she responded to the ED summons.
The caption associated with the video reads, “ईडी हो या सीबीआई कांग्रेस कब इनसे घबराई मैं इंदिरा गांधी जी की बहू हूं मैं किसी से नहीं डरती।”
(English translation: “Congress is never scared of ED or CBI. I am the daughter-in-law of Indira Gandhi, I am not scared of anyone, says Sonia Gandhi.”)
