Sonia Gandhi, Rahul summoned to appear in lower court in National Herald case

In a setback to Gandhis, the Delhi High Court has summoned Congress president Sonia Gandhi and her son Rahul Gandhi in connection with National Herald case.

The high court refused to stay a summons order passed against them and has asked them to be present in a lower court on Tuesday.

Judge Sunil Gaur also refused to grant the Gandhis exemption from appearance.

BJP leader Subramanian Swamy, in his petition, has accused the Gandhis of grabbing the properties owned by National Herald by buying over its publishers through an outfit in which the Gandhis hold 86% stake.
