The National Herald, which was once the voice of the freedom movement, is now mired in an alleged scam. The granddaughter-in-law and the great-grandson of its founder Jawaharlal Nehru now have to answer questions of the agencies probing alleged financial malfeasance

It was a different time politically in India about 10 years ago. The Congress was in power, leading a multi-party coalition government to make up for the lack of majority in the Lok Sabha. Congress president Sonia Gandhi and her son Rahul Gandhi were often described as “extra-constitutional authorities” over the Manmohan Singh government.

It was against this backdrop that veteran-yet-maverick politician and lawyer Subramanian Swamy moved a Delhi court in 2012 alleging money laundering by Sonia and Rahul in what is known as the National Herald case.
