The Congress on Wednesday alleged that an ailing Sonia Gandhi was being harassed by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) at the behest of the government.
Addressing a press Conference here, Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad said, "She is not keeping well for many years. When the same things were asked to Rahul Gandhi for five days what was the need for this."
Leader of opposition Mallikarjun Kharge said, "ED is harassing our leader despite her not keeping well."
Congress's MP K. Suresh on Wednesday gave an adjournment notice in the Lok Sabha on the misuse of ED.
