Calling the decision a major victory, the Congress described it as a triumph of truth. Party leaders said the verdict exposed the BJP\u2019s political malafide intent and accused the central government of serious misuse of investigative agencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the wake of this development, under the leadership of Haryana Congress President Rao Narendra Singh and Leader of Opposition Bhupinder Singh Hooda, Congress MLAs, office-bearers and workers gheraoed the BJP headquarters in Panchkula. During the protest, slogans were raised against the BJP and a strong demonstration was held.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Addressing the gathering, State Congress President Rao Narendra Singh said that the court clearly stated in its order that the case was based on a private complaint and that, in the absence of registration of an FIR for the predicate offence, no further action could be taken on the ED\u2019s complaint. As a result, Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi and other Congress leaders received immediate relief. He termed this the failure of the alleged conspiracy of the Modi government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Launching a sharp attack on the BJP, Rao Narendra Singh said, \u201cBJP\u2019s attempt to construct a building of lies without any foundation has failed. There was neither any transaction nor any money laundering. Under which category of crime does the transfer of a company\u2019s loan fall?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He said the entire case was driven by political vendetta. The verdict of the honourable court has proved that truth inevitably triumphs over falsehood, even if it takes time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Former Chief Minister and Leader of Opposition Bhupinder Singh Hooda also reacted strongly, saying, \u201cThe voice of Congress cannot be suppressed by misusing investigative agencies. This conspiracy of the BJP was aimed at weakening the Congress, but the people are watching everything. Our party will emerge even stronger.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He said that after this verdict, party workers are highly motivated and plans are being made at several places to gherao BJP headquarters. These protests will be against the misuse of agencies and attacks on democracy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Calling it a victory of truth, he said the BJP\u2019s narrow mindset and conspiracies have been completely exposed. He added that seeing the growing popularity of Rahul Gandhi and the Congress, these corrupt elements are deeply rattled and are now conspiring to malign Congress and its leaders by adopting various tactics. However, this strong voice raised to protect democracy can no longer be silenced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the protest, Haryana Pradesh Congress Committee Working President Ram Kishan Gurjar; MLAs Maman Khan, Ram Karan Kala, Naresh Selwal, Rajbir Fartiya, Balram Dangi, Inderaj Narwal and Jassi Petwad; former MLAs Shamsher Singh Gogi, Mewa Singh, Pradeep Chaudhary, Surender Panwar and Balbir Balmiki; State Media In-charge Sanjeev Bhardwaj; District Congress President Sanjay Chauhan; Dushyant Chauhan, Parvinder Singh Pari, Narpal Gurjar, Devender Singh, Parag Gaba, Rajesh Vaidh, Rishipal Sihag, Kuldeep Singh K.D., Pradeep Gulia, Satveer Jhukiya, Subhash Chandra, Ramesh Malik and Baljeet Singh Makkad; Haryana Pradesh Mahila Congress President Sudha Bhardwaj; Haryana Youth Congress President Nishit Kataria; Haryana Congress Seva Dal President Poonam Chauhan; Congress Lok Sabha candidate from Karnal Divyanshu Buddhiraja; Chandveer Hooda, Manveer Kaur Gill; Municipal Councillors Akshaydeep Chaudhary and Pankaj Balmiki; Rakesh Saundhi, Rajesh Kakkar, Ravindra Rawal, Dalveer Balmiki, Sunita Sharma, Rajesh Kona, Randhir Rana, Suresh Unishpur, Naresh Mann, along with hundreds of Congress workers, were present.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Panchkula (17&nbsp;December&nbsp;2025) In the money laundering case related to the National Herald, a Delhi court has refused to take cognizance of the chargesheet filed by the Enforcement Directorate (ED).
