Rajasthan chief minister Ashok Gehlot has condemned the interrogation of Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, which lasted until midnight by the enforcement directorate in the National Herald case.
“The law is the same for everyone, but interrogating someone until midnight is wrong. What crime or money laundering has taken place? Where there are trillions of loot, they do not investigate,” Rajasthan’s chief minister told reporters.
