The Haryana Congress staged a massive protest outside the BJP’s state office, Panchkamal, in Panchkula on Wednesday following the Delhi court’s rejection of the Enforcement Directorate’s (ED) action in the National Herald case.
Congress MLAs, former MLAs, district presidents, senior leaders, and workers marched from the Gymkhana Club to the BJP office, where they staged a sit-in and raised slogans against the Central government.
Thousands of leaders and workers, led by former Chief Minister and Leader of the Opposition Bhupinder Singh Hooda and Haryana Congress President Rao Narendra Singh, took to the streets. The protesters accused the Central government of misusing investigative agencies and termed the action as political vendetta.
Speaking on the occasion, former Chief Minister Hooda said the court had declared the ED’s action illegal, making it clear that the central government was misusing agencies to target opposition leaders. He said false cases were filed against Congress leaders due to political malice, but truth had now prevailed in court. The case against former Congress President Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi was politically motivated, he added, and this had now been exposed.
Haryana Congress President Rao Narendra Singh said Congress workers across the country had protested outside BJP offices today. He said the presence of thousands of workers showed immense public anger against the “BJP’s illegal, unconstitutional actions and false actions”.
During the protest, a heavy police force was deployed outside the BJP office, and barricades were erected in front of the gate. Several Congress workers climbed onto the barricades and chanted slogans to register their protest. This protest was part of a nationwide call by the Congress, which has termed the court’s decision in the National Herald case as a moral and legal victory.
