Robert Vadra said, 'We told the ED that we are collecting our documents, I am always ready to come here. I hope that some conclusion will be reached today. There is nothing in the case... When I speak in favor of the country, I am stopped, Rahul is stopped from speaking in Parliament.'
Vadra further said, 'BJP is doing this. This is political vendetta. People love me and want me to join politics... When I express my desire to join politics, they raise old issues to bring me down and divert attention from real issues. In the last 20 years, I have been called 15 times and questioned for more than 10 hours each time. It is not easy to collect 23000 documents.'
Earlier Vadra was also called on 8 April but he did not appear.
