It looks like the BJP MP Subrahmanya Swamy is not going to leave the Congress leaders. He has been chasing them with different cases from time to time. Congress president Sonia Gandhi, vice president Rahul Gandhi and other leaders were asked by a Delhi court on Saturday to respond to a fresh plea of BJP leader Subramanian Swamy seeking certain documents from the party and Associated Journals Ltd (AJL) in the National Herald case.

Apart from  Gandhis, Metropolitan Magistrate Lovleen also issued notices to other party leaders like Motilal Vora, Oscar Fernandes, Suman Dubey and Sam Pitroda seeking their replies within two weeks, while posting the matter on October 4.

BJP leader  Swamy has sought documents relating to a loan given by the Congress to the AJL, the holding firm of the National Herald, saying these were necessary for the purposes of trial in the case.

Swamy also sought certain documents from the Registrar of Companies (ROC) which were filed by the AJL and papers from the Department of Income Tax (DoT) in relation to income tax returns filed by AJL.

 The documents sought from AJL included “authorisation by the members of the AJL to borrow monies in excess of its paid-up capital and free reserve of AJL, relevant extracts from the books of accounts of AJL during the period of loan and documents by which the loan was converted into shares in the books of AJL.”The BJP MP also sought summoning documents from “the Congress party reflecting the loans given to AJL and documents of the party in the year in which the loan was written off.”
