New Delhi: Enforcement Directorate (ED) issued fresh summons to AICC Chairperson Smt. Sonia Gandhi to attend before ED officials on June 23^rd to record her statements in connection with the National Herald case.

She was summoned on June 8^th, but she wrote to the ED informing that she had Covid-19 and hence, was unable to join the probe. Her son and former party Chief Rahul Gandhi was summoned on June 2^nd but he couldn’t join the probe too as he was abroad. The ED had then issued a second notice to him to join the probe on June 13^th.

The ED has summoned both Sonia and Rahul to appear at ED’s Delhi headquarters to record their statements. CBI filed a case against various Congress leaders including the Sonia and Rahul for allegedly misappropriating National Herald funds and the ED’s case was filed on the basis of this.
