In less than a week after the CBI reviewed properties of KPCC president D.K. Shivakumar at Kanakapura in the disproportionate assets case, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) has asked him to appear before it on October 7 in connection with the Young India and National Herald case.
The move by ED comes amidst the Congress’s Bharat Jodo Yatra that is traversing through Karnataka, and was confirmed by Mr. Shivakumar to reporters at Badanavalu, near Mysuru, on Sunday.
“I have been issued notice to appear before ED on October 7. After harassing AICC president Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi, they have called me for questioning. They have called me and my brother D.K. Suresh (MP for Bengaluru Rural) that too when the Bharat Jodo Yatra is on in Karnataka,” he said.
