In this case, the ED had questioned congress party's interim president Sonia Gandhi last month. The Congress had created a ruckus across the country in protest against the ED's questioning of Sonia Gandhi, with trains being stopped at many places and cars set on fire on the road. Earlier, when Rahul Gandhi was questioned by the ED, whenever the Congress was creating ruckus on the streets. Now, after the ED's action, Rahul posted on Facebook and wrote, "Don't think of yourself alone, Congress is your voice, and you have to fight the strength of the Congress, every order of the dictator, every attempt to suppress the voice of the people. For you, I and the Congress party have been fighting, and will fight even further. '
Rahul further wrote, "You know very well what issues should be discussed in the country today because every wrong policy of the government is affecting your life. In this monsoon session, we were trying to ask the government for answers to the questions of the people, but you all saw how the government got the people of the opposition suspended, arrested us for protesting by us, got the House adjourned, and even yesterday when the discussion took place, the government clearly said that 'there is no problem like price rise'!
In his Facebook post, Rahul Gandhi further wrote, "The country is reeling under the epidemic of unemployment, crores of families are left with no means of stable income. But the government is just pumping billions of rupees into the image of an 'arrogant king'. Inflation and 'Gabbar Singh Tax' are a direct attack on the income of the common man. Today's reality is that the common man is not struggling for his dreams but for the bread of 2 times. This government wants you to accept everything of the dictator without questioning. I assure you all, there is no need to fear them and endure dictatorship. They are cowards, afraid of your strength and unity, so they are constantly attacking him. If you face them unitedly, they will be scared. I promise you, we will not be afraid or let them scare. '
