"Police barriers, hollow threats from the ED, sticks, and water cannons will not stop the storm of truth.... Rahul Gandhi is the unstoppable voice of truth," she wrote in Hindi.

She further took to social media and wrote: 

"The voice of truth will not fear the intimidating summons.....The voice of truth will stand like a rock and face the BJP rule of lies, loot and fear."

The ED will document the Gandhi scion's testimony in accordance with the penal provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA). The investigation is on suspected financial irregularities at the Congress-backed Young Indian, which owns the National Herald newspaper.

The Delhi Police used Section 144 CrPC regulations to restrict assembly and admission of persons on roads leading to the ED headquarters in Pravaratan Bhawan on A P J Abdul Kalam Road ahead of the Congress party's protest march. Several members of the Congress who had assembled for the march were also arrested.
