🚨 "Witch‑hunt Alert": Rahul Gandhi Rages ⚡️ Over ED Vs. Vadra!

TL;DR: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has strongly defended his brother‑in‑law Robert Vadra, calling today’s ED chargesheet in the Gurugram land case “10‑year witch‑hunt” by the Modi government. He says it’s politically driven slander, pledging steadfast support to Priyanka Gandhi’s family. Vadra’s side says he’ll now present his defense in court. The case involves alleged money‑laundering, property attachment worth ₹37.6 crore, and earlier probes dating back to 2008. The truth, both insist, will eventually prevail.

🔥 Breaking (Telangana + National Politics)

  • Rahul Gandhi took to X today (July 18, 2025) and slammed the latest Enforcement Directorate chargesheet naming Robert Vadra in the Haryana Gurugram land deal, calling it “a continuation of that witch hunt” spanning a decade.

  • He proclaimed full solidarity with Robert, Priyanka, and their children against what he described as “malicious, politically motivated slander and harassment.”

  • This is the first time an agency has filed a formal prosecution complaint under the PMLA for this land-deal case.

  • ED attached 43 properties worth ₹37–37.6 crore belonging to Vadra or his firm Skylight Hospitality.

  • Rahul’s voice echoes broader Congress claims of political vendetta, with KC Venugopal accusing the government of monthly-targeting Congress & family.

🧩 Case Background

  1. Land Deal History

    • Vadra’s firm bought ~3.5 acres in Shikohpur, Gurugram for ₹7.5 crore in Feb 2008, sold to DLF in 2012 for ₹58 crore.

    • IAS officer Ashok Khemka cancelled the mutation in Oct 2012 after raising procedural flags.

    • FIR from Gurugram Police registered in Sep 2018; CBI later probed corruption; ED under PMLA filed its money-laundering complaint today.

  2. Legal & Political Stakes

    • Vadra's team claims he’ll challenge charges in court and show compliance with law.

    • Rahul advises public not to be fooled, saying truth & justice will win in the end.

🗣️ Key Reactions & Quotes

  • Rahul Gandhi:

    “My brother‑in‑law has been hounded by this government for the last ten years… continuation of that witch‑hunt.”“I stand with Robert, Priyanka and their children… they will continue to do so with dignity.”

  • KC Venugopal (Congress GS):“The ED action is pure political vendetta… monthly assignment to go after Congress leadership”.

🏛️ Why It's a Big Deal

  • Highlights a major clash between Opposition & the BJP government—allegations of misuse of ED as a political weapon.

  • Opens debate on institutional integrity, fairness in probes, and rights of those linked to political families.

  • Courts are now central—will decide if investigations hold legal water, or politics interferes.

💬 MediaFx Take (Pro‑People Angle)

From the workers’ point-of-view, this isn’t just a family feud—it’s about big institutional powers being used to harass dissenting voices. Using the ED to burden a family linked with opposition politics is a tool of intimidation, striking fear into those who might speak against the ruling class. While the government may call it law enforcement, the people see it as political suppression. But the people also believe in holding institutions accountable—real justice comes only when probes are fair, transparent & truly independent.

What do you think, fam?

  • Is this real anti-corruption, or just power politics?

  • Does ED need reform, or are such probes being abused?

  • How can we protect institutions from being misused?
