Chennai: MK Stalin on Tuesday emerged the only major leader from south to question Enforcement Directorate's marathon quizzing of Congress leader Raul Gandhi yesterday.
The Tamil Nadu Chief Minister and DMK President called it "outrageous act of political vendetta" by BJP against the national party "using the probe agency."
Stalin in his tweet said the political opponents should be fought politically.
"Having no answers to the pressing issues of the common man, BJP uses such diversionary tactics to save itself from the public ire. Political opponents should be fought politically, not by 'forcing' the Enforcement Directorate," he added.
The ED questioned Rahul Gandhi on Monday and Tuesday as part of its probe into alleged financial irregularities in Young Indian Private Limited, promoted by the Congress, that owns National Herald newspaper, and asked him to appear again on Wednesday.
The newspaper is published by Associated Journals Limited (AJL) and owned by Young Indian.
Rahul's mother and Congress president Sonia Gandhi, who is currently admitted to a hospital in New Delhi due to Covid-related issues, has also been summoned by the agency for questioning in the case on June 23.
