Robert Vadra ED Case: Rahul Gandhi, Congress leader and LoP Lok Sabha, on Friday, defended his brother-in-law and businessman, Robert Vadra day after the Enforcement Directorate (ED) filed a charge sheet against Priyanka Gandhi Vadra's husband.

"My brother-in-law has been hounded by this government for the last ten years. This latest chargesheet is a continuation of that witch hunt. I stand with Robert, Priyanka and their children as they face yet another onslaught of malicious, politically motivated slander and harassment. I know that they are all brave enough to withstand any kind of persecution and they will continue to do so with dignity. The truth will eventually prevail," Gandhi wrote on X.
