Haryana Congress Protest Outside ED Office Over Herald Case

Chandigarh : In a show of political defiance, the Haryana Congress has announced that it will stage a protest outside the Enforcement Directorate (ED) office in Chandigarh. The protest will be led by former Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda, who is expected to voice his party’s concerns over the ongoing investigation into the National Herald case. The protest is expected to draw significant attention as the Congress seeks to highlight what it deems as political vendetta against party leaders.

The National Herald case has been a contentious issue in Indian politics, particularly within the Congress party. Allegations of financial mismanagement and corruption have been leveled against senior party leaders, including the Gandhi family. The Enforcement Directorate has been investigating the matter for some time, and the party has been critical of the probe, calling it politically motivated and aimed at targeting its leadership. The Haryana Congress protest is set to bring these concerns into the public eye, with Hooda expected to lead the charge.

However, there are indications that some key party members may not attend the protest. Sources suggest that Congress leaders like Kumari Selja and Randeep Singh Surjewala may not participate in the demonstration, leading to speculation about internal differences within the party. Despite these absences, the protest is expected to remain high-profile, with Hooda taking center stage in rallying support for the party’s stance.

The Congress has been trying to rally its base in the face of several challenges, including the ED investigation and growing pressure from opposition parties. The protest outside the ED office is a part of the party’s broader strategy to demonstrate solidarity with its leaders who are being investigated and to highlight what it perceives as the misuse of central agencies for political purposes. Hooda, known for his strong political acumen, is likely to draw attention to these issues and make a case for the party’s fight against alleged government overreach.

As the protest is expected to take place in the coming days, the political atmosphere in Haryana and nationwide could become more charged, with the Congress positioning itself as a strong opponent of what it considers unjust political tactics. The protest marks another chapter in the ongoing political battles between the Congress and the ruling BJP, as both parties continue to engage in a war of words over various issues.
