Bikaner Land scam case: "My 75-yr-old mother being harassed by vindictive government" says Robert Vadra

“Do they think people in India do not view it as an election gimmick? As I always have adhered to rules and overall being a disciplined person, I have the ability to sustain any amount of hours of questioning and having nothing to hide; I will answer every question with respect and dignity”

New Delhi: Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi’s husband Robert Vadra, who is under Enforcement Directorate scanner over alleged illegal foreign assets spoke exclusively to ABP News and claimed that his mother is being “harassed by the government”. Vadra is currently in Jaipur for his deposition in Bikaner Land scam case. Speaking on the same, Vadra said “So here we are my 75 year old mother and me in Jaipur to depose in front of the Enforcement Directorate”. Taking on the government, he said “Not understanding the lows of this vindictive government to be harassing a senior citizen, who the world knows has lost her daughter in a car crash, her ailing son to diabetes, and her husband as well. Three deaths and all I did, was to ask her to spend time with me in my office, so I can look after her and we both could grieve on our losses, while spending time together”. “Now, she is being accused, maligned and called to be interrogated, for spending time in my office.  Since I have already been interrogated for 3 days in Delhi headquarters, of the Enforcement Directorate” he added. Vadra further questioned the timing of the entire questioning of him by ED and said “If there was any issue or any illegality, which was found by government, why did it take them 4 years and 8 months to call me a month before campaigning begins for the General elections?” “Do they think people in India do not view it as an election gimmick?  As I always have adhered to rules and overall being a disciplined person, I have the ability to sustain any amount of hours of questioning and having nothing to hide; I will answer every question with respect and dignity” Vadra said. “This too shall pass and will make me stronger. What goes around comes around” he added.
