national herald

On 26th April (Sunday), the Congress mouthpiece "National Herald" published a column by Sourabh Sen. It directed Modi govti to learn 'lessons' from the recently concluded national parliament polls in the neighbouring country.

The history of the National Herald has been marred by allegations of corruption since the time of Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru.

Sardar Patel had in 1950 shot off multiple letters to Nehru, warning him of National Herald's financial impropriety, which India's first PM chose to brush aside.

Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar on Friday admitted that he had donated Rs 25 lakh to the National Herald, which he said was a newspaper run by his party.

In its order, the authority stated that it noted that the equity shares and movable assets that the ED had attached were proceeds of crime and were connected with money laundering offences.

Congress relaunched the news operations of the National Herald in 2016 to make it appear as if it was still engaged in newspaper publishing.

Investigation revealed that Associated Journals Ltd. (AJL) is in possession of proceeds of crime in the form of immovable properties spread across many cities of India such as Delhi, Mumbai and Lucknow to the tune of Rs. 661.69 Crore
