"Nothing to hide": Robert Vadra's response after hours-long ED questioning, summoned again tomorrow

New Delhi [India], April 15 (ANI): Alleging that the federal agencies are being misused, businessman Robert Vadra, after hours of Enforcement Directorate questioning in connection to the Gurugram land case, asserted that he had nothing to hide, whereas the Bharatiya Janata Party attacked the latter and called him as "land mafia".
Meanwhile, sources said the Enforcement Directorate has summoned businessman Robert Vadra again for questioning tomorrow, April 16, in connection with the Gurugram land case.
After hours of grilling, Robert Vadra left the ED office after interrogation in the Gurugram land case.
"All the questions which I have answered before are being answered again. There is no issue. I have nothing to hide. Everything is answered; everything will be answered again," Vadra said.
Speaking to reporters, Vadra said whenever he does something good for the people, the opposition tries to suppress him.
"Whenever I talk for the people, they will try to suppress me. It's a political vendetta. They misuse the power of the probing agencies. I do not have any fear, as I have nothing to hide," Varda said.
He said that he submitted more than 20,000 documents to the agency in 2019, too, calling the summons "politically motivated."
"23,000 documents were submitted in 2019. The case that they are asking me about is a 20-year-old case. This is politically motivated. We abide by all the rules and regulations when we do any transaction. The ruling government always misuses the agency. They can ask me as many questions. I have nothing to hide. All is good," Vadra said.
Robert Vadra expressed his discontent over the matter, stating that there was "nothing" in the case and hoping for a conclusion in the investigation.
"Case mein kuch nahin hai yaar... I hope there is a conclusion. They call me when they want to digress from the original issues," Vadra said.
Congress supporters who were there with Vadra were also chanting slogans, "Jab jab Modi darta hai, ED ko aage karta hai," referring to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government allegedly using the probing agencies to create pressure on the opposition.
Congress leader Supriya Shrinate termed the case "bogus" and said that they will continue to fight for the rights of the people.
"This bogus case has been going on for the last 12 years. And it is ridiculous that the money laundering chargesheet filed by the ED is in a case in which not a single penny has been transacted, and not a single property has been transferred. This is pure, dirty, vulgar, cheap and vendetta politics. If Narendra Modi ji thinks he will scare people with this, there must be some people who are scared of you. Rahul Gandhi, Sonia Gandhi and the Congress party are neither scared of you nor intimidated by you. They will continue to fight for the rights of the people with all their might," Shirnate said.
Moreover, the Bharatiya Janata Party leader Gaurav Bhatia said that a strong message had been sent out that nobody was above the law of the country.
"Land mafia Robert Vadra was summoned for interrogation by the Enforcement Directorate. This is related to the land scam that happened in Haryana, when the Congress was in power, and it is known as the Shikohpur land scam, where within 24 hours, misusing the powers of the Chief Minister, a license was given to a company controlled and owned by Robert Vadra," Bhatia said.
The BJP leader called the Gandhi family the most corrupt family in the world.
"Today, when he was summoned for interrogation, it says a lot about the power of the rule of law and a strong message has been sent out that nobody is above the law of the country, especially not the fake Gandhi family, which is the most corrupt family in the world," he added.
Senior Advocate in the Supreme Court and BJP leader Nalin Kohli attacked Robert Vadra and said that the ED wants to know directly about the issue.
"Robert Vadra can say he has given 20,000 pages. The question is whether it is relevant to the question being asked or not. Otherwise, you can go ahead and buy 5000 books and present them. But the Enforcement Directorate is not to read what material you may be doing to obfuscate. They want to know directly on the issue, so that is between him and the agency..."

According to official sources, this is Vadra's second summons in this case. He was previously summoned on April 8. (ANI)
