The legal notice, sent today, cites three reports on news channels to make its point. It says that these channels claimed, based on unnamed sources, that Mr Gandhi, accused of money-laundering, is being "evasive" during his sessions with interrogators and "appears be tutored by his lawyers." The government must stop these deliberate leaks, the cease-and-desist notice says.
Mr Gandhi has clocked over 25 hours of questioning by the Enforcement Directorate after it summoned him alleging that with his mother, Congress chief Sonia Gandhi, he formed a shell company to gain illegal control of property worth $300 million that was owned by a newspaper founded in 1937 by India's first prime minister, Jawaharlal Nehru, who was Mr Gandhi's great grandfather.
The notice sent by the Congress to Home Minister Amit Shah and Finance Minister Nirmala Sitaraman accuses the government of using the Enforcement Directorate for political vendetta. It agues that the "leaks" to the media are being used to further the government's agenda .
