Land Deal In Haryana's Shikohpu Case
The probe against Vadra, 56, is linked to a land deal in Haryana's Shikohpur. Once Vadra appears before the ED, the agency will record his statement, the sources said.
Vadra was earlier questioned by the federal probe agency in a different money laundering case.
"With blessings from my family, I will take the step into politics": Vadra
Earlier in an interview with news agency ANI, Vadra asserted he is willingness to join politics. He said if the Congress party feels he should take that step, he would do so with the blessings of his family.
Vadra emphasised that his connection to politics has largely been due to his association with the Gandhi family. However, the businessman stated that over the years, multiple political parties have tried to pull him into political discussions, often using his name as a distraction during elections or other issues.
