Sending a strong message of solidarity, UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi’s son in law and Congress President Rahul Gandhi’s brother in law Robert Vadra, today reached the Enforcement Directorate’s office accompanied by his wife, Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi. However, Priyanka soon left after dropping him at the ED office.
Soon, pictures of a smiling Vadra emerged from inside the ED office. Twitter users used this opportunity to take a dig at Vadra.

Some even pointed out that he is smiling because of the entitlement that he has because of his family connection.
Isko pata hai ki iska koi baal bhi baka nahi kar sakta

What’s he smiling for? Does he know that nothing will ever happen to him? https://t.co/7nJLQk4t9N

Vadra has been summoned by the Enforcement Directorate today in connection to the money laundering case and dubious land deal cases. He had applied for anticipatory bail in the court earlier this month after a fresh money laundering case was filed by the Enforcement Directorate (ED). The case filed under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) against Skylight Hospitality firm owned by Vadra. The case is in relation to alleged financial irregularities in land deals in Gurgaon, Haryana in 2008.
We had reported earlier that posters featuring Robert Vadra have appeared outside Congress headquarters welcoming his wife and Rahul Gandhi’s sister Priyanka Gandhi Vadra formally in the party. Later, the posters were later removed from AICC headquarters by the NDMC.
