Sonia Gandhi and her son Rahul Gandhi will appear in a Delhi court on December 19 to face allegations that they illegally acquired property worth Rs. 5, 000 crore belonging to the National Herald newspaper, in what the Congress alleges is "persecution" of its leaders.
The Gandhis were to appear in a lower court today, but were granted a new date on their request. "We told the court that the accused are extremely keen, ready and willing to appear before the magistrate at the earliest possible date, " said Congress leader Abhishek Manu Singhvi, who is representing them.
