Dec 17 (HT): Congress chief Sonia Gandhi and vice-president Rahul Gandhi will appear before a Delhi court in connection with the National Herald case on December 19 but may not seek bail, sources said, though the party didn’t make any official confirmation.
The Congress is keeping its cards close to its chest on the future course of action after a Delhi court issued summonses to its top leadership and other leaders based on a complaint of alleged cheating and misappropriation of funds in taking control of the defunct National Herald newspaper.
Party strategists on Wednesday maintained that the Gandhis will not apply for bail on Saturday and a decision on whether to seek exemption from future court appearances in the case may be taken that day itself.
