Jul 18, 2025

NEW DELHI: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Friday defended his brother-in-law Robert Vadra, and said he has been "hounded by this government for the last ten years" following the Enforcement Directorate's attachment of 43 properties worth Rs 37.64 crore linked to Vadra.

Gandhi called the action a continuation of a "witch hunt" by the government and said he stands with Robert, Priyanka Gandhi, and their children against what he called "malicious, politically motivated harassment."

He expressed confidence that the truth will eventually come out.

In a post on X, Rahul Gandhi wrote, "My brother-in-law has been hounded by this government for the last ten years. This latest chargesheet is a continuation of that witch hunt"

"I stand with Robert, Priyanka and their children as they face yet another onslaught of malicious, politically motivated slander and harassment. I know that they are all brave enough to withstand any kind of persecution and they will continue to do so with dignity. The truth will eventually prevail," the post reads.

A day earlier, ED attached 43 immovable properties worth Rs 37.64 crore linked to Vadra and his entities, as well as filed a prosecution complaint or chargesheet against him and 10 others.
