Rahul Gandhi, a senior member of the Congress, and other MPs were held on Tuesday in New Delhi after he organised a march there to protest the questioning of his mother Sonia Gandhi in connection with an alleged money-laundering investigation. Tuesday marked the second session of the Enforcement Directorate's (ED) questioning of Congress interim Chief Sonia Gandhi in the National Herald case, in which Rahul Gandhi is also a co-accused. The Congress-promoted Young Indian Pvt Ltd, which owns National Herald, is the subject of an investigation by the ED on possible financial irregularities. Rahul Gandhi was escorted from Vijay Chowk, where he was protesting, to the Parliament Street police station after being apprehended. Rahul Gandhi had already expressed dissatisfaction that Vijay Chowk demonstrators were not being allowed to sit down. "This is India's reality... The reality is that it is a police state. "Modiji is a raja," he declared.
