Herald case: Sonia, Rahul may seek bail tomorrow

December 18, 2015 21:17

Congress president Sonia Gandhi and vice president Rahul Gandhi could seek bail when they appear before a magistrate tomorrow in the National Herald case, with the Congress today insisting that they were open to all legal remedies and options.

"We are open to availing all legal remedies and options, including bail," said party's chief spokesman Randeep Surjewala ahead of the two top leaders appearing before a metropolitan magistrate in the Patiala House court tomorrow.

Surjewala said the Congress leadership does not want the court process to be interfered with or influenced in any manner and so the party has asked workers not to come to the court.

AICC has dismissed reports that the Congress has called its state leaders to Delhi when the Gandhis will appear before the court.
