Overview
- Bansuri Swaraj attended a Joint Parliamentary Committee meeting on 'One Nation One Election' with a tote bag reading 'National Herald Ki Loot.'
- The message on the bag directly criticized the Gandhi family over allegations linked to the National Herald money laundering case.
- The Enforcement Directorate recently filed a chargesheet against Sonia and Rahul Gandhi, accusing them of laundering ₹988 crore and misappropriating assets worth ₹2,000 crore.
- Swaraj's gesture mirrored Priyanka Gandhi Vadra's earlier use of political messages on tote bags, intensifying the symbolic exchange between BJP and Congress leaders.
- Congress continues to denounce the investigation as politically motivated, while the BJP maintains that the Gandhis must answer for the alleged misconduct.
