-

After being appointed as the Congress general secretary for UP east, Priyanka Gandhi’s first visuals as a politician were of her going to the ED office to pick and drop her husband before and after his questionin­g in a money laundering case for almost six hours. Her move unpredicta­ble, impactful. Priyanka said, “He is my husband, he is my family... I stand by him, I stand by my family”.

This is the first time that Robert Vadra has appeared before any probe agency. Vadra claimed that the investigat­ion was political vendetta.

Vadra is being questioned in the purchase of a London- based property allegedly owned by him worth £ 1.9 million.

Vadra was grilled for the first time for about fiveanda- half hours, he was questioned the second time for about nine hours. On Saturday he appeared before the ED for the third time in connection with the probe.

Congress president Rahul Gandhi on Friday while seeking answers on the Rafale deal brought in his brother- in- law Robert Vadra and senior leader P. Chidambara­m to make his point. He said, “Whatever

inquiry you want to do, you do it. You implement the law. Robert Vadra, P. Chidambara­m— you implement the law on everyone. No problem. But you also give answers on the Rafale matter.”
