Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi said on Saturday that there was 'no link' between the National Herald and the Goods and Services Tax Bill issues and asserted that his party is for the tax reform measure if three differences are resolved.

"Congress party had brought in the GST. Modiji and Jaitleyji had vehemently opposed it. They had called it all sorts of names. They rubbished it, said it cannot be done...it's completely nonsense," Rahul said, referring to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Finance Minister Arun Jaitley.

"In the media, there is some sense that the National Herald and the GST are linked. I say to you here that there is absolutely no link between National Herald and GST. National Herald is a separate issue and the GST is a separate issue," said Rahul while interacting with editors and senior journalists in Guwahati.

Congress has been protesting in Parliament on National Herald issue alleging political vendetta after the Delhi high court refused to quash summonses to its leaders including party chief Sonia Gandhi and Rahul.
