Sonia Gandhi's son-in-law Robert Vadra summoned by Enforcement Directorate in land deal case
UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi’s son-in-law Robert Vadra, who is the husband of Priyanka Gandhi has been summoned by the Enforcement Directorate in the land deal case.
The Haryana land deal case has been in the news since bureaucrat Ashok Khemka came out with documents wherein the DLF and Robert Vadra went into a deal which had certain eyebrow raising regulations which was signed between the two partners.
The land deal scam also brought then Chief Minister of Haryana, Bhupinder Singh Hooda in the dock and Congress eventually lost the assembly election.
ED has sent the summon to Robert Vadra in the land deal case.
Earlier, Vadra had made a statement on social media, stating “A flurry of media queries are suddenly being sent to me based on entirely false allegations probably being leaked by the government as polling day in Rajasthan comes close!! Interestingly, most of the issues arising thereof happen to be sub-judice. Is it a mere coincidence that this also coincides with certain government agencies accelerating their activities and raking up issues that either have no connection to me at all or I have already responded to years ago and cooperated with them fully over the last four years?”
Robert had further elaborated saying, "The sad part is that everyone except the BJP can see how desperate, blatantly political and vindictive these tactics are. I hope independent and professional persons in the media stay focused on issues that really matter to the public in Rajasthan like massive unemployment and misgovernance and don't allow themselves to get dragged into what is clearly the government's plan B every time they find themselves on the back foot be it Rafale or the prospect of losing assembly elections."
