Uttar Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Brajesh Pathak targeted Congress on Monday Rahul Gandhi To hold the national capital hostage, to inconvenience the people, and to try to pressure an investigative agency to hide the “corruption of the family”.
In a statement on Monday, Pathak said: “Those who are out on bail are asking Congress workers to surround Delhi and pressurize the Enforcement Directorate for their safety. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) strongly condemns this ill-thought-out protest of the Congress Party to save the corrupt from accountability. But the Congress leadership cannot run away from answering questions.
“They must answer that the Associated Journal Limited (AJL), which was set up in the 1930s to publish a newspaper with the participation of 5,000 freedom fighters, is today running the real estate business through Young Indian, A company whose 76% shares are owned by Mrs. Sonia Gandhi and Mr. Rahul Gandhi. They should also answer how the entire assets of AJL over Rs 2,000 crore and belonging to freedom fighters were handed over to a family through Young Indian Gaya, which was formed in 2010 with a capital of Rs 5 lakh,” said Pathak.
Pathak also questioned the links between Rahul Gandhi and Sonia Gandhi’s Young Indian and Kolkata-based hawala company Dotex Merchandise, alleging clandestine transactions between them.
All shares of AJL and its entire assets worth Rs 2,000 crore were allegedly transferred to Young Indian, a larger company owned by Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi, which held the maximum number of shares in 2010. The Congress, which received Rs 90 crore as donation from the people, gave the money as loan to AJL and later waived it for Young Indian.
Although formed as a charitable company in 2010, Young Indian did not do a single charitable work till 2016 and was engaged in the real estate business.
Subsequently, a case was registered and in 2019, the Delhi High Court termed the transaction between AJL and Young Indian as “sham”.
“Complete transaction of transfer of shares of AJL to Young India was nothing but a covert and covert transfer of lucrative interest to Young India”, observed the High Court.
