ED attaches Rs 750 crore AJL assets, including Herald House in city
Tuesday, 21 November 2023 The Enforcement Directorate on Tuesday attached properties worth over Rs 750 crore, including the well-known Herald House near ITO, belonging to Associated Journals Ltd (AJL), the publisher of National Herald and other party mouthpieces of the Congress, in a money laundering case against party leaders Sonia Gandhi and her son Rahul, and Young Indian, which now controls AJL. Congress slammed the ED's action as “shameful vendetta politics in a frivolous case” and dubbed BJP the “murderer” of democracy.
Senior Congress leader Sonia Gandhi was re-elected as the Chairperson of the Congress Parliamentary Party (CPP) on Saturday. The decision, proposed by Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge and seconded by Gaurav Gogoi and Tariq Anwar, was unanimously approved by the MPs in the Central Hall of Parliament. In her address, Sonia Gandhi urged party MPs to be "watchful, vigilant, and proactive" in Parliament. She stressed the need to hold the new NDA government accountable, prevent the ruling establishment from disrupting parliamentary proceedings, and ensure proper debate and consideration of legislation.

Congress MP Shashi Tharoor says, "... Budget of health and education ministries have been reduced, so I asked them the reason. There is no politics in this. Two states have been given favourable treatment to satisfy their coalition partners. We know this is how it works and we also have the right to protest against it... I am happy for the people of Bihar for getting such a generous package. It is a very big deal... 3 Congress and 1 DMK Chief Minister said they would not attend the NITI Aayog meeting because there was nothing for their states in the budget... Maybe Mamata Banerjee has an issue which she wants to discuss..."

Ranchi: Former Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren was granted bail by the High Court in a land scam case, leading to his release from jail this morning. The court found that, prima facie, Soren is not guilty and is unlikely to commit another offense while on bail. His counsel, Arunabh Chowdhury, confirmed the bail was granted on a bond of ₹50,000 and two sureties of the same amount each. Soren, leader of the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha, was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate on January 31 on money laundering charges related to the acquisition of 8.86 acres of land in Ranchi. The court's decision followed earlier setbacks for Soren, including bail denials by both the Ranchi special court and the High Court, and the Supreme Court's refusal of interim bail. Soren has consistently denied the charges, accusing the ruling BJP of framing him to derail the opposition. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story

In a recent statement, Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut discussed the leadership and future prospects of the INDIA alliance. On the question of Rahul Gandhi being the prime ministerial candidate, Raut expressed full support, stating, "If Rahul Gandhi is ready to accept the leadership, why would we object? He is a national leader and has proved himself. He is popular... We all love him. In the INDIA alliance, there is no difference of opinion on who will be the Prime Minister." Raut also addressed the current political landscape, criticising the BJP's performance. He mentioned that the BJP had secured only around 235-240 seats, falling short of a majority. He pointed out that the BJP's reliance on allies like Chandrababu Naidu and Nitish Kumar makes their government unstable, asserting, "If the NDA government is formed with the support of these two pillars... it can fall anytime." Raut claimed that the BJP has lost its respect and that the "Modi brand is finished." He attributed BJP's wins to the influence of the Enforcement Directorate (ED), Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), and Income Tax (IT) department. Despite this, Raut acknowledged their democratic right to form a government but emphasized that the INDIA alliance, with its 250 seats, also has a mandate to govern. He concluded by questioning the loyalty of Naidu and Kumar to the BJP, suggesting they might choose to support democracy over dictatorship.
