New Delhi:
The Congress Friday said it had done its duty in supporting The
Associated Journals Limited, publisher of National Herald and
other newspapers, in the form of an interest-free loan from which
no commercial profit accrued to the party.
"The Indian National Congress (INC) has done its duty in
supporting The Associated Journals Limited to help initiate a
process to bring the newspaper back to health in compliance with
the laws of the land," Congress general secretary Janardan Dwivedi
said in a statement issued here.
"The support was extended in the form of an interest free loan
from which no commercial profit has accrued to the INC," said
Dwivedi.
National Herald was founded by Jawaharlal Nehru (who became
India's first prime minister in 1947) in 1937, and played a role
in the freedom struggle, said the Congress.
Janata Party chief Subramanian Swamy had Thursday alleged
"wrongdoing" by Congress president Sonia Gandhi and party general
secretary Rahul Gandhi vis-a-vis the takeover of Herald House in
Delhi.
BJP leader Arun Jaitley joined Swamy Friday in asking the Congress
to come clear if it had given a loan of Rs.90 crore to the company
floated by the Gandhis.
The Congress challenged Swamy to prove his allegations.
Dwivedi said that "in furtherance of its object and its political
activities, it is a matter of pride for the INC that it has
supported The Associated Journals Limited, publisher of National
Herald and other newspapers, founded by Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru in
1937, which has played a role in our freedom struggle."
According to Dwivedi, "the object of INC is well being and
advancement of the people of India and establishment in India, by
peaceful and constitutional means, of a socialist state based on
parliamentary democracy in which there is equality of opportunity
and of political, economic and social rights and which aims at
world peace and fellowship".
