00:00More news coming in, ED summons Robert Badra and the land deal case again.
00:04Badra had skipped the first summon on the 8th of April.
00:08ED suspects Badra laundered the land deal money.
00:11Suspecting Badra laundered the money, accusing him of 51 crore illicit land deal profit.
00:30I don't need to hide anything for anything.
00:32And I always ask the question, I always answer and I will give it.
00:38OK.
00:39All right, you heard there from Robert Badra as well.
00:52We'll be getting in more details on where exactly as he has spoken
00:55because it's expected that he would be appearing before the enforcement directorate.
01:00These are pictures of Badra and his supporters at this point in time
01:05associated with the Congress Party.
01:07And of course, the son-in-law of Sonia Gandhi,
01:11the husband of MP from Wainad Priyanka Gandhi.
01:15Badra there talking about the case against him.
01:20Badra cries witch hunt after ED summons.
01:23And this has been an argument of the Gandhis and the Congress Party in the past as well,
01:28summoned by the ED, saying that this is nothing but political witch hunt.
01:34Accused of 51 crore illicit land deal profit.
01:39Listen in to Robert Badra.
01:42Share higher, share higher.
01:45Share higher, share higher.
01:46Come, come, come, come.
01:53I'm going straight across to Amit for more details.
02:00Robert Badra there marching to the ED office with his supporters there.
02:04A show of strength and talking about the fact that this is witch hunt.
02:07Nothing has been found on him so far.
02:14Right, Sneha.
02:14Yeah, you know, this was expected when we were speaking a couple of minutes back
02:18as to how during the 2019 Lok Sabha elections,
02:22when Robert Badra would reach the ED office,
02:25you would see him, that bunch of his supporters were, you know, around him.
02:31What we are given to understand that Robert Badra could be actually
02:34coming to this particular lane near the Enforcement Directorate office,
02:38and he is marching with his set of supporters who are actually trying to
02:45dub the entire matter into a political vendetta case.
02:48So that has been a standard, you know, political defense from Robert Badra
02:53and supporters as well, the Congress Party workers,
02:55that whenever the Enforcement Directorate or the investigative agencies
03:00summon him, we have seen this happening right from 2019 itself,
03:04that every time such summons are issued when Robert Badra usually comes
03:10to the Enforcement Directorate office, what you see is that, you know,
03:16a kind of protest also erupts around the ED office.
03:20So we'll have to see as to whether a similar kind of visual or protest
03:23can be seen around the ED office and whether the agency will be allowing that at all.
03:28And moreover, but the moment he has left, like Rahul Gandhi,
03:33Robert Badra is marching from Sujan Singh Park residence towards
03:38the Enforcement Directorate office, which is nearly two kilometers away.
03:43And in that particular march, a show of strength is also being showcased
03:47by Robert Badra and his supporters, where constantly slogans are being raised
03:52in favor of Robert Badra trying to dub this as what we are given to understand
03:58is that on the other side of the lane, it could be Robert Badra.
04:02So we are trying to get you those visuals as well as he enters the lane where
04:07the Enforcement Directorate office is located.
04:10So Sujan Singh Park is nearly two kilometers away.
04:14You know, the march would take usually 15 minutes for him to reach here
04:19at this particular location where the Enforcement Directorate headquarter is concerned.
04:23And he is surrounded by a set of supporters who are constantly raising slogans
04:27in support of Robert Badra as well as, you know, trying to dub this as political conspiracy.
04:35And, you know, we'll have to wait for that word also coming from Robert Badra
04:39about the allegations that have been labeled against him, against Skylight properties
04:44that Mr. Badra owns and the land deal into which this summon has been issued
04:49by the Enforcement Directorate accusing, you know, looking, suspecting rather
04:54at the angle of money laundering.
04:57So in any time from now, what we will see is that the visuals of Robert Badra
05:03actually reaching the ED office from this particular stretch.
05:08This is the point from where Robert Badra could be reaching the Enforcement Directorate
05:13and is marching like we had seen Rahul Gandhi march during the Bharat Jodo Yatra.
05:19So possibly now Robert Badra also taking a cue from Rahul Gandhi
05:25in order to lose the Enforcement Directorate office.
05:28And he is being surrounded, he is surrounded by a set of supporters
05:31who are raising slogans constantly in support of Robert Badra.
05:37Sneha.
