All PCC presidents, senior leaders and workers of the Congress party launched a peaceful 'Satyagraha' across the country on Tuesday (July 26), protesting ED summon and questioning of Congress interim president Sonia Gandhi in connection with the National Herald money laundering case. Sonia Gandhi was grilled by ED for six hours today and she has been asked to appear again tomorrow.

Subsequently, Congress parliamentarians, including Rahul Gandhi, sat in protest in front of Vijay Chowk.

Sonia Gandhi was initially summoned to appear again on July 25 but it was changed to July 26 at her request.

Earlier in the day, Sonia reached the ED's headquarters at around 12.10 p.m and was questioned by a team of additional director Monika Sharma.

The Congress chief is deposing on the third summons as she sought exemption on earlier dates of June 8 and June 23 owing to coronavirus infection.

Sonia Gandhi, who is presently in hospital due to Covid related health issues, has also been summoned on June 23 in the same case.

Gandhi also said that the late Congress Treasurer Motilal Vora was engaged in all these sorts of affairs. Vora held 12 per cent stake in YI, while Rahul Gandhi and his mother and party chief Sonia Gandhi had 76 per cent stake.

Rahul Gandhi, who wrote to the ED saying that he has to look after his mother Sonia Gandhi who is hospitalised due to Covid related complications, requested the probe agency to resume his questionning on Monday instead of Friday.

Rahul Gandhi was taking time to review his statements hence his questioning was taking more time.

Gandhi will have to appear again before the ED on Wednesday when a three-member team will question him.

Officials said as Gandhi's questioning could not be completed on Monday, he was summoned again on Tuesday.

Sonia Gandhi has also been summoned in the matter.
