The Enforcement Directorate (ED) Wednesday summoned Congress interim president Sonia Gandhi and Congress MP Rahul Gandhi in connection with a case of alleged money laundering linked to the now-defunct National Herald newspaper.

• Rahul Gandhi has been called to join the investigation on 2 June, Sonia Gandhi has been called on 8 June.
• The two leaders have been summoned as part of the investigation in the National Herald case. 
• The case was closed by the investigating agency in 2015. The move by ED was followed by the questioning of senior Congress leader Mallikarjun Kharge and Congress treasurer Prawan Bansal in April 2022.
• The National Herald is published by Associated Journals Limited (AJL) and owned by Young Indian Pvt Ltd (YIL). While Kharge is the CEO of YIL, Bansal is the Managing Director of AJL.
• The ED is currently investigating the shareholding pattern and the financial transactions as well as the role of party functionaries in the functioning of AJL and YIL.
