ED questioning Rahul Gandhi exposes BJP's fear: Congress leader U T Khader
Mangaluru, Jun 15: The interrogation of Rahul Gandhi by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) has exposed the BJP's constant fear of the Congress leader who has been fighting against the Centre's "anti-people" policies, deputy Leader of Opposition in the Karnataka assembly U T Khader said on Wednesday.
Addressing reporters here, he said the ruling BJP is following policies of "social injustice" in the country which is a matter of grave concern.
He said it is pitiable to see the ED stooping to such a level that showed the inability of the BJP government to counter the opposition.
"Rahul Gandhi is not just a leader, but a symbol of strength for the opposition. His commitment towards the people and constitutional principles are something which BJP fears which forces them to raise false allegations against him," Khader said.
The allegations are only aimed at tarnishing the image of the Congress leader, he added.

Elephant calf brought from Bijnor kept under care at Pilibhit Tiger Reserve
Pilibhit (PTI): A 19-day-old elephant calf, brought from Bijnor, was placed under care at the Pilibhit Tiger Reserve (PTR) on Sunday, an official said and added that the calf got separated from its mother in the forest area of Bijnor.
The calf was born on December 2 in the Bijnor forest area and got separated from its mother shortly after birth, the official said.
The forest department made several attempts to reunite it with its mother, but without any success. To ensure the calf's safety and better care, it was decided to transfer it to the Pilibhit Tiger Reserve on the instructions of senior officials.
On Saturday, Deputy Director Manish Singh received the calf. Special arrangements have been made in the reserve for its care. It has been kept in a safe and clean environment to provide it with a natural setting and protect it from external noise and disturbances.
Singh told reporters that raising an 19-day-old calf is challenging.
It requires a special diet as a substitute for mother's milk and constant monitoring.
He said a special team has been formed to provide 24-hour care. Since the calf is very young, it is being cared for like a newborn baby.
According to Singh, the primary responsibility for monitoring the calf's health has been entrusted to PTR's veterinarian, Dr Daksh Gangwar. Under his supervision, a complete record of the calf's health checkups, diet, and body temperature is being maintained. The team is ensuring that the calf does not contract any infection.
