In the world of Indian politics, there’s one dynasty that’s mastered the art of entitlement and evasion—until now. The Gandhi family, particularly Sonia and Rahul Gandhi, have repeatedly sought to dodge legal accountability in the National Herald case. But despite their legal muscle and high-profile lawyers, the courts have consistently refused to oblige.
Let’s break it down:
And instead of facing the law, Rahul Gandhi now has the audacity to threaten the government. He recently declared that once the tables are turned, the Congress will unleash vindictive action and not spare any BJP Leader. This isn’t just arrogance—it’s a dangerous admission of what the Congress sees governance as: a tool for personal revenge, not justice.
But what’s even more telling is the deafening silence of the Darbari media—the usual torchbearers of “democracy in danger” sloganeering.
Where are the high-decibel tweets of Rajdeep Sardesai, Ajit Anjum, Sanket Upadhyay, Saba Naqvi, and Rohini Singh now? These are the same folks who foam at the mouth over ED notices to opposition leaders, but now that Sonia and Rahul Gandhi are officially named in a money laundering chargesheet, they’ve conveniently lost their voices.
Search their timelines for “National Herald”—and you’ll find nothing but radio silence. Not a peep. Only a tweet or so in the past done for the sake of formality by few. The same people who pounced on every ED summons to others have suddenly discovered the joys of selective amnesia.
This isn’t journalism. This is sycophancy in service of dynasty.
The National Herald case is not about politics—it’s about illegalities in property acquisition, tax evasion, and laundering funds. And when such serious charges are backed by court proceedings, the media’s job is to report, not cover-up.
But then again, expecting neutrality from Darbari journalists is like expecting Rahul Gandhi to quote the Constitution accurately—a fantasy at best.
