Congress to move high court against National Herald case summons

NEW DELHI: Congress is likely to move the high court against the trial court’s summons to the top party leadership over allegations of fraud in the acquisition of defunct National Herald.
Sources said the appeal in a higher court was the only way to deal with the immediate aftermath of the summons to Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi on a petition filed by Congress-baiter Subramanian Swamy.
AICC spokesman Randeep Surjewala alleged the case was driven by BJP’s vendetta against Congress.
“The entire episode leading to the filing of a complaint by Swamy is nothing but a motivated, mischievous and malicious attempt by him and BJP’s dirty-tricks department to unleash their revengeful vendetta,” he said.
The Congress spokesman said that both Swamy and his colleagues in BJP forgot to tell the court that "Young Indians" is a not-for-profit organization and that in such a company, none of the directors or shareholders can claim any remuneration, salary or other emoluments and it’s a prerequisite that no profit or dividend can be given to any stakeholder.
