Andhra Pradesh Congress Committee (APCC) members staged a protest on Tuesday against the questioning of AICC president Sonia Gandhi by the Enforcement Directorate (ED).

The party leaders sat on a dharna, accusing the Centre of launching a political witch-hunt against Ms. Gandhi.

APCC president Sake Sailajanath said that Rahul Gandhi’s ‘Bharat Jodo’ yatra was giving jitters to the BJP leaders.

“The Gandhis are being targeted and false cases being slapped as they are fighting against the spiralling prices of essential commodities. The Congress workers would not be cowed down by the BJP, which is resorting to vendetta politics,” he said.

The Congress leadership asked the PCCs to hold peaceful protests near Gandhi statues or at places of historical importance.
