ITANAGAR, Jun 13:  Arunachal Pradesh Congress Committee (APCC) staged a ‘Satyagraha march’ from APCC office to the tennis court at IG Park here on Monday against the misuse of the Enforcement Directorate (ED) by the Prime Minister Narendra Modi led BJP government against its party President Rahul Gandhi.
Speaking to reporters, President APCC Nabam Tuki informed that the  rally is in support of party leader Rahul Gandhi ahead of his appearance before the ED today in the National Herald money laundering case.
Tuki termed the allegation against Gandhi as ‘fake and baseless’, while accusing the BJP of misusing the agency's power to destroy an individual's political career and political party. 
He also condemned the Delhi police for detaining many Congress leaders and not allowing a protest rally for the same matter in the national capital today. He said denying someone to protest in a democratic country is uncalled for and condemnable.
“Congress is the one who created the country’s political history. Therefore there is no reason to claim that the party is silent on any issues related to the state and only voices against national issues,” he said, while  responding to a query.  
Rahul Gandhi appeared before the ED today in connection with the National Herald money laundering case. The case pertains to allegations of financial irregularities during the acquisition of Associated Journals Limited (AJL), which published the newspaper by the Gandhi owned Young India Limited in 2010.
