“Sonia and the other accused, Motilal Vora, Oscar Fernandes, Sam Pitroda and officials of Young India, the company in control of the Herald’s assets, are expected to apply for bail but Rahul is likely to say it is a witch-hunt and refuse to take bail”, a source was quoted as saying by The Telegraph. As the accused were to appear in the trial court on Tuesday, Abhishek Manu Singhvi pleaded before the court that the accused be exempted from personal appearance on Tuesday and that they were willing to appear on a later date. Congress members in unison alleged a “political vendetta” against their top leaders.

This is one case that could herald trouble for mother-son duo Sonia Gandhi and Rahul. But for that to happen, each and every Congressmen will have to fight in unison. By disrupting democracy the financial web created by the Congress leaders can not be undone. But the results of legal battles are always uncertain. A Congress MP from Maharashtra said: “Looks like we will have to do this kind of disruption daily till December 19, when they appear in the court”. “The Government has passed no order in relation to the disputed transactions”, he said. “Is that a charge against the Courts?”, he asked.
