Terming the National Herald money laundering case "blatant robbery", Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Sambit Patra on Thursday called Congress stalwarts Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi "modern dacoits". "Can a political company lend money to another entity? How did the Congress party, which relies on donations, lend money to Young Indian and AJL (Associated Journals Limited) like a bank?... I appeal to you that from today, don't call this case a theft or corruption, this is blatant robbery... Rahul Gandhi and Sonia Gandhi are modern dacoits... This is the National Herald robbery case," Patra said in a press conference.
