New Delhi, April 19, 2025 (ANI): Union Minister and BJP leader Hardeep Singh Puri slammed Congress on their claims on BJP that they are using the ED to target Congress in the National Herald case.Talking to ANI, he said, "They are making their cadre create a ruckus, but the Congress party cannot hide these facts no matter how hard they try... My colleague had used the term ATM (for National Herald) ... If Congress tells the truth to their cadres, then their cadres themselves will protest against the leadership of the party. The statements between Mallikarjun Kharge and their youth leader (Rahul Gandhi) are not consistent..."

00:00that this is an open and shut case involving fraud, corruption and money laundering.
00:09This National Herald publication, it was started during the Freedom Movement in 1937, if I remember correctly.
00:18There were 5,000 original contributors, small amounts, these are Freedom Fighters, and it took place in such noble circumstances.
00:36In those 5,000, I don't know exactly what I remember, survivors are in that moment.
00:48And you can see that this news was in 2008, it ceased to exist.
00:59Now, you can see that there are many contradictions in the Congress party.
01:05Malik Arjun Khargeji, 16 April, two days before today, said that there is nothing in the case, it was shut down for some time due to financial troubles,
01:17Sonia Gandhi tried to revive it with loans and donations.
01:20A one minute.
01:22You're saying that you're taking loans and donations, but your youth are not,
01:35which is your real boss, I've read that our Guru Murti Ji has written that October 11, 2012,
01:48the pioneer newspaper reported that Rahul Gandhi was emphatic, that young Indian had no intention of relaunching any newspaper.
02:04In an email to the pioneer, Rahul Gandhi's office said,
02:09This individual, independent, Rahul Gandhi Ji, Yuvaneta, office said,
02:15Young Indian is a not-for-profit company and does not have commercial operation.
02:19The company has no intention of starting any newspaper.
02:22In 2012, it was shut down for some time due to financial troubles.
02:37Sonia Gandhi tried to revive it with loans and donations.
02:40To shut down for some time meaning then thereafter it must have started.
02:44To shut down for some time meaning then thereafter it must have started.
02:57To shut down for some time, I know that in 2008 there was a publication closed.
03:02And these are the assets that were 2,000 crores in that time.
03:08I understand.
03:10So, Chitra Ji, if you can do the valuation of those assets today,
03:14it is quite likely that the valuation will not be 2,000 crores, there will be more.
03:18So, they have 50,000,000 tozen, in Japan,
03:19they receive these assets and Stitches,
03:23and they receive them with some of their funds for them.
03:28And there was only about 76 percent of shareholders holding which is
03:31Rahul Ji and Sunia Ji is about 38 percent.
03:35And some 10,12 percent of these producers were also linked to them.
03:43The question is that if your wire has been dropped by them,
03:46The building that is in Delhi, I'm talking about Delhi, I'll give you a knowledge of that building. In 1963, there were 0.3365 acres of associated journals. It was a nominal rate of Rs. 1.25 lakhs per acre.
04:07Building construction for press. There was no press there. In 2008, there was no press. And they said, I'll quote you to the official documents.
04:21The land shall be used by the A.J.L. only for the construction of a building, for the bona fide purposes of the press and for no other purpose.
04:30The perpetual lease was executed in 1967. And the repeated requests of A.J.L. was modified.
04:42The basement, one floor for the press and offices of the lessee. And the remaining four floors for the building for letting out to other commercial concerns is office accommodation.
04:55So, it means primary purpose is press. And the rest, you can rent for your offices.
05:02When we were inspecting this in 2016, I was the Housing and Urban Affairs Minister.
05:09So, we knew that there was no printing activity there. The building was vacant. Ground and first floor were rented out to the passport office. And second and third floor were rented out to Tata Consultancy Service. And fourth floor was being used by the lessee.
05:24A.J.L.
05:25A.J.L.
05:26A.J.L.
05:27A.J.L.
05:28The building will reentered in 30 December of October 2018. Reentered in 2018.
05:31It means that we were reacquired.
05:33A.J.L.
05:34A.J.L.
05:35The re-proceded petition filed in Delhi High Court in Delhi High Court. The re-entry order was dismissed.
05:38In 2019, A.J.L. filed LPA against the order of Delhi High Court which was also dismissed.
05:44also dismissed. Proceedings for eviction under the PPA Act was initiated by the State
05:51Officer Court of LNDU. AJL filed SLP in 2019 before the Supreme Court and Court granted
05:59stay on the State Officer's acquisition proceedings. And this date is the fact that the building
06:10was not being used since 2008. We have re-entered the building. Courts have dismissed it, but
06:16Supreme Court has stayed on the eviction proceedings. Limited point. Now, you can see that
06:25you are saying that you leave the building. There is no news. It is not published. In
06:35Samachal Pradesh, 2022, Congress government took office. January 2023, February 2025, this
06:49year, they gave them 1 crore rupiah for the newspaper to run. But the newspaper was not
06:54published. The other thing, they have utilized and misutilized the provisions in our law for
07:03charity. The entries are also fuzzy entries. And they have used public funds. And remember,
07:13the original 5,000 freedom fighters who contributed to their original 5,000 freedom fighters, they
07:19have also sold their premises. They have given their gifts. Or you will give salaries. Some
07:25people who worked, they will give gratuity. So the whole thing is a fraud and corruption.
07:31And I think it's an open and shut case. Now that the enforcement director has brought charges,
07:36I think justice will finally see the light of day.

11:06in which case,
11:08Congress also meeting
11:10ors.
11:12Now, what will be the outcome,
11:15in which case?
11:17No, the Reds will not be
11:19further.
11:21You see, in a few days, when Congress
11:23will explain in their party
11:25that their leaders will be misunderstood,
11:27they will protest against their leaders.
11:31It's very difficult to defend something like this.
