OPINION | Why is Congress worried about ED probe into National Herald issue?

India TV News  

The Congress and BJP had a massive face-off inside Parliament on Thursday over the National Herald issue. Congress leaders alleged that the ED officials have sealed that part of Herald House in Delhi, from where the newspaper was being published, but ED sources said, only the Young Indian office has been locked since nobody from the company was present. Since he was the CEO of Young Indian Ltd., the company that owns Associated Journals Ltd., he was asked by ED to come to Herald House so that a search could be carried out. One major question is, the newspaper National Herald belonged to Congress, the company Associated Journals Ltd belonged to Congress, and the party gave a loan to its own company, but what was the necessity of floating another company to recover that loan? Congress leaders also put forth an argument that since Young India under Section 25 of Companies Act is a not-for-profit company, both Sonia and Rahul Gandhi did not benefit a rupee from it.
