Gandhi family must pay for its 'sins': BJP on ED's attachment of National Herald assets

Former Union minister and BJP leader Ravi Shankar Prasad accused the Gandhi family of capturing National Herald assets by converting the now-defunct newspaper's properties into its "personal properties". Addressing a press conference, Prasad asked the Congress to explain as to how the action taken against "rank dishonesty and loot of public property" can be described as negation of democracy. The ED said on Tuesday that it has issued an order to provisionally attach properties worth Rs 751.9 crore in the money laundering case being investigated by it.
