Fri Apr 18 12:24:51 UTC 2025: ## Congress Protests ED Case Against Gandhi Family in Erode
**ERODE, INDIA (April 18, 2025)** – Members of the Erode Urban District Congress Committee staged a protest today against the Enforcement Directorate (ED) filing a chargesheet naming party leaders Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi in the National Herald case.
The protesters denounced the case as politically motivated, alleging it is an act of vendetta by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) aimed at silencing Congress criticism of the central government’s policies. They described the money laundering allegations as baseless and asserted that the BJP is attempting to distract from pressing public issues.
The Congress cadre demanded the withdrawal of what they termed a “false case,” and raised slogans condemning the BJP and its leadership. The protest highlighted the ongoing political tensions between the ruling BJP and the opposition Congress party.
