National Herald Case: Anurag Thakur questions Congress for ‘transferring crores to AJL’

Chandigarh, April 17, 2025 (ANI):  On ED chargesheet against Rahul Gandhi and Sonia Gandhi in the National Herald case, BJP MP Anurag Thakur said, "They should answer if Jawaharlal Nehru started this newspaper in 1938 and it wasn't worth running by 2008, what happens after 2010 that a company named Young Indian is made, 76% of the shares are taken by Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi... Wasn't this open loot? AJL transferred property worth Rs 2,000 crore to Young Indian... Why did Congress give loan worth Rs 90 crore to AJL?... Firstly, can Congress give loans to an institution? Secondly, can it waive off loans? Thirdly, the 0.33 acre land given on Bahadur Shah Zafar Marg was given on a concessional rate to run a newspaper, and on the basis of it, rent worth crores was taken from big companies, to whom does this rent go? Fourthly, this newspaper is weekly and gets funds much more than a daily newspaper... How many people read National Herald in Himachal Pradesh?... How many Congress governments funded National Herald?... Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi are on bail in the same matter... Congress is fake and so are its data, people, protests..."
