Robert Vadra
Businessman Robert Vadra appeared before the Enforcement Directorate in Delhi on Tuesday in connection with an ongoing probe into a Gurugram land deal.
Speaking to the media outside the ED office, he criticized the investigation, alleging that it is being used to deflect attention from pressing national issues.
“Case mein kuch nahin hai yaar… I hope there is a conclusion. They call me when they want to digress from the original issues,” Vadra remarked.
Vadra accused the ruling BJP of using investigative agencies to silence those who speak in the nation’s interest. He said such actions follow a clear pattern of political vendetta.
“When I speak in favour of the country, I am stopped; Rahul is stopped from speaking in the Parliament. BJP is doing it. This is a political vendetta,” he stated.
He added that every time he shows an interest in joining politics, past cases are brought up to discredit him.
“People love me and want me to join politics… When I express my willingness to join politics, they bring up old issues to bring me down and divert from the real issues.”
Vadra expressed frustration over the prolonged nature of the investigation, pointing out that despite his repeated appearances and submission of thousands of documents, no findings have emerged.
“Does it take 20 years to find anything? I have been summoned 15 times, sat for 10-10 hours, and submitted 23,000 documents. Now they ask for the 23,000 documents in one week. Organising 23,000 documents is not easy,” he said.
This appearance marks his second summons this month, with the previous one issued on April 8, according to ED officials. Despite his objections, Vadra chose to walk from his residence to the ED office in a show of transparency and cooperation.
Earlier, Vadra had described the entire episode as a “political vendetta”, suggesting that the case lacks merit and is being used to harass him.
As the investigation continues, Vadra maintains that his political aspirations and outspoken views have made him a target, and he hopes for a fair and conclusive end to the matter soon.
