National Herald Storm: ED Targets Gandhi Duo

On April 15, 2025, Indian politics was rocked by a major development—one that’s dominating headlines and sparking intense debate across the nation. The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has filed a high-profile chargesheet against Congress leaders Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi in connection with the much-discussed National Herald case. This move has pushed the senior leaders of India’s grand old party into the spotlight once again, both legally and politically.
At the heart of the case lies the alleged illegal transfer of properties worth around ₹2,000 crore belonging to Associated Journals Limited (AJL) to a private, non-profit company named Young Indian. The ED claims that Sonia and Rahul, who jointly held 76% of Young Indian’s shares, used this setup to facilitate financial fraud. The once untouchable family at the center of Indian politics now faces serious legal scrutiny.
The chargesheet doesn’t stop with Sonia and Rahul. It also names key Congress figures like Sam Pitroda and Suman Dubey as co-accused, adding further weight to the case. The Congress party has strongly condemned the move, calling it “a new chapter of political vendetta.” Party spokesperson Jairam Ramesh stated that this is nothing but an attempt by the ruling government, under the Prime Minister’s leadership, to target the opposition through misuse of power.
The case is now set to return to court on April 25, and until then, the nation will remain gripped by debates, speculations, and heated discussions. Will justice be served? Will this case redefine the political landscape of the country? That remains to be seen.
The verdict is not just for the courts—it lies with the people too. What’s your take on this political storm? Share your thoughts in the comments—this isn’t just another case, it could be a turning point in the future of Indian politics.
