Senior Advocate R.S. appeared on behalf of Congress leader Rahul Gandhi in the National Herald Money Laundering case. Cheema opposed the argument of the ED by giving important arguments in the Rouse Avenue Court. He argued that the Congress Party did not sell it, but to save this historic institution related to the freedom struggle.
Advocate Cheema argued in front of Special Judge Vishal Gog and said whether the ED lawyers will tell why he did not put AJL’s Memorandum of Association in the court. The foundation of AJL was laid in 1937 by Pandit Nehru, JB Kripalani, Rafi Ahmed Kidwai and many freedom fighters.
Rahul Gandhi’s lawyer’s important argument
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s lawyer argued that AJL’s MoA clearly says that the policy of the institution will be in line with the policy of the Indian National Congress. Even after independence, AJL never acted like a commercial institution. She has always been a mission -related institution and not a profitable company. We were trying to bring him back on track. Not to earn profits from him.
property worth two thousand crores was cheated
Investigation agency ED has accused Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi, late Moti Lal Vora, late Oscar Fernandes, Suman Dubey, Sam Pitroda and private company ‘Young India’ of Ajl’s assets of more than two thousand crores, considered to be a national heritage under money laundering and conspiracy."Text-Align: justify;"> ED claims that Rahul and Sonia Gandhi had a 76% stake in Young India and in lieu of just Rs 90 lakh, they took a loan of Rs 90 crore in their hands and took full control of AJL’s property.
Ajl did not want to shut down the party
Rahul Gandhi’s lawyer RS ​​Cheema said that this whole story is being introduced in a one -sided and concoction. The Congress party did not want to shut down AJL nor did he want to sell its property. It was our endeavor to revive this institution, because it has been a part of the freedom struggle.
Argument Puri
on behalf of Sonia Gandhi, Senior Advocate Abhishek Manu Singhvi has completed the debate on behalf of Sonia Gandhi in the National Herald case. On Thursday (July 3, 2025), the ASG had argued that the Gandhi family is the benefit of Young India and after the death of other share holders, they got full control of the company.
Rahul’s lawyer raised questions on ED’s intention
Rahul Gandhi’s lawyer made it clear that the treasurer in the Congress is responsible for the financial transactions. Motilal Vora was both the treasurer of the party and head of AJL. At the same time, the general secretary of the party is responsible for organizational and administrative work only. The lawyer also questioned whether the ED can start such an investigation on the complaint of any private person.
He said that we found an example of such cases, but we did not find any other case in which ED has done such a serious investigation on the complaint of only one political person. However, the Rousse Avnue Court will now hear the case on 7 July. & Nbsp;
