00:00More news coming in, ED summons Robert Badra and the land deal case again.

00:04Badra had skipped the first summon on the 8th of April.

00:08ED suspects Badra laundered the land deal money.

00:11Suspecting Badra laundered the money, accusing him of 51 crore illicit land deal profit.

00:30I don't need to hide anything for anything.

00:32And I always ask the question, I always answer and I will give it.

00:38OK.

00:39All right, you heard there from Robert Badra as well.

00:52We'll be getting in more details on where exactly as he has spoken

00:55because it's expected that he would be appearing before the enforcement directorate.

01:00These are pictures of Badra and his supporters at this point in time

01:05associated with the Congress Party.

01:07And of course, the son-in-law of Sonia Gandhi,

01:11the husband of MP from Wainad Priyanka Gandhi.

01:15Badra there talking about the case against him.

01:20Badra cries witch hunt after ED summons.

01:23And this has been an argument of the Gandhis and the Congress Party in the past as well,

01:28summoned by the ED, saying that this is nothing but political witch hunt.

01:34Accused of 51 crore illicit land deal profit.

01:39Listen in to Robert Badra.

01:42Share higher, share higher.

01:45Share higher, share higher.

01:46Come, come, come, come.

01:53I'm going straight across to Amit for more details.

02:00Robert Badra there marching to the ED office with his supporters there.

02:04A show of strength and talking about the fact that this is witch hunt.

02:07Nothing has been found on him so far.

02:14Right, Sneha.

02:14Yeah, you know, this was expected when we were speaking a couple of minutes back

02:18as to how during the 2019 Lok Sabha elections,

02:22when Robert Badra would reach the ED office,

02:25you would see him, that bunch of his supporters were, you know, around him.

02:31What we are given to understand that Robert Badra could be actually

02:34coming to this particular lane near the Enforcement Directorate office,

02:38and he is marching with his set of supporters who are actually trying to

02:45dub the entire matter into a political vendetta case.

02:48So that has been a standard, you know, political defense from Robert Badra

02:53and supporters as well, the Congress Party workers,

02:55that whenever the Enforcement Directorate or the investigative agencies

03:00summon him, we have seen this happening right from 2019 itself,

03:04that every time such summons are issued when Robert Badra usually comes

03:10to the Enforcement Directorate office, what you see is that, you know,

03:16a kind of protest also erupts around the ED office.

03:20So we'll have to see as to whether a similar kind of visual or protest

03:23can be seen around the ED office and whether the agency will be allowing that at all.

03:28And moreover, but the moment he has left, like Rahul Gandhi,

03:33Robert Badra is marching from Sujan Singh Park residence towards

03:38the Enforcement Directorate office, which is nearly two kilometers away.

03:43And in that particular march, a show of strength is also being showcased

03:47by Robert Badra and his supporters, where constantly slogans are being raised

03:52in favor of Robert Badra trying to dub this as what we are given to understand

03:58is that on the other side of the lane, it could be Robert Badra.

04:02So we are trying to get you those visuals as well as he enters the lane where

04:07the Enforcement Directorate office is located.

04:10So Sujan Singh Park is nearly two kilometers away.

04:14You know, the march would take usually 15 minutes for him to reach here

04:19at this particular location where the Enforcement Directorate headquarter is concerned.

04:23And he is surrounded by a set of supporters who are constantly raising slogans

04:27in support of Robert Badra as well as, you know, trying to dub this as political conspiracy.

04:35And, you know, we'll have to wait for that word also coming from Robert Badra

04:39about the allegations that have been labeled against him, against Skylight properties

04:44that Mr. Badra owns and the land deal into which this summon has been issued

04:49by the Enforcement Directorate accusing, you know, looking, suspecting rather

04:54at the angle of money laundering.

04:57So in any time from now, what we will see is that the visuals of Robert Badra

05:03actually reaching the ED office from this particular stretch.

05:08This is the point from where Robert Badra could be reaching the Enforcement Directorate

05:13and is marching like we had seen Rahul Gandhi march during the Bharat Jodo Yatra.

05:19So possibly now Robert Badra also taking a cue from Rahul Gandhi

05:25in order to lose the Enforcement Directorate office.

05:28And he is being surrounded, he is surrounded by a set of supporters

05:31who are raising slogans constantly in support of Robert Badra.

05:37Sneha.
