New Delhi: Robert Vadra, who is being probed by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in various cases, alleged Tuesday that the Modi government was being ‘vindictive’ and was harassing his 75-year-old mother as elections were approaching.
Vadra asked in a Facebook post as to why the government took four years and eight months in calling him for questioning, a month before campaigning begins for the general elections. “Do they think people in India do not view it as an election gimmick?” he said.
His outburst came just before he and his mother Maureen appeared before the ED at its zonal office in Jaipur in connection with a probe into an alleged land scam in the Rajasthan’s Bikaner.
“So here we are my 75-year-old mother and me in Jaipur to depose in front of the Enforcement Directorate (sic). 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,” Vadra said.
“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,” he added.
Vadra alleged that his mother was now being accused, maligned and called to be interrogated, for spending time in his office. He said he has already been interrogated for three days in ED’s Delhi headquarters.
“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. This too shall pass and will make me stronger. “What goes around comes around. God is with us!” Vadra further wrote.
