National Herald Case: Sardar Patel’s Warning Rings True, Gandhi Family Now Faces Major Crisis

National News: The National Herald Case, which has been pressed into the political layers after independence for years, is now in the national headlines once again. The recent investigation by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) has re -exposed the scam and the heat of the allegations has now reached the Gandhi family directly. The ED alleges that Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi together hatched a conspiracy to transfer a secret transfer of property worth about ₹ 5000 crore - a case that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is describing a living example of "Congress dynastic power, corruption and mentality of rights".

An unheard warning recorded in history

This case is not just today. Its roots go up to 1950, when the country's iron man Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel wrote a letter to the then Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru and raised serious questions on the economic operation of the National Herald. According to the letters which are in the book called "Sardar Patels Karsponden", Patel alerted  Nehru to maintain distance from suspected donations and corporate interests who sabotage the government's status.

Patel wrote in a letter on 5 May 1950 that people associated with Himalayan Airways have given a donation of ₹ 75,000 to the National Herald - while it was the same company that was received by the Air Force's objection. He clearly stated that it smells of favoritism and corruption. The letter also mentioned that Union Minister Ahmed Kidwai is collecting donations from the controversial traders of Lucknow.

Nehru's answer and Congress silence

Nehru wrote in a reply on the same day that he has asked his son -in -law Feroz Gandhi to investigate the matter. But his answer was Golmol and unclear, which deepened Patel's concerns. The very next day, on 6 May, Patel sent another letter in which he wrote bluntly that there are no philanthropy, only private professional selfishness in these few.

Nehru eventually said that he has not been involved in the economic matters of the newspaper for three years, and has now been handed over to another person named Mridula. He also said that "some mistakes may have happened", but replaced it as a matter of profit and loss instead of morality.

Today's scam: Misuse of political privileges

According to the ED investigation, Sonia and Rahul Gandhi's company "Young Indian Limited" took the property of crores of National Herald to its company. This work is not only disregarding corporate laws, but is also considered to be misuse of political privileges.

BJP leader Dr. Subramanian Swamy first took up the matter and described it as a "robbery of public property". The BJP is describing it as an example of the moral bankruptcy of the Congress, saying that the Congress sacrificed the basic values ​​of independence and converted power into family business.

Ethical question beyond politics

The Congress is calling this whole episode a sense of political revenge, but this claim seems weak in view of Sardar Patel's historical warnings and now the investigation of the ED. This has not just a legal matter, but a test of political morality - the morality of a party that ignored the warning of a great producer of the country for decades.
