Hello and welcome you watching NDTV 24 7 am Shen akh she Chakravarty the big storey we have been tracking through the day The office of the young Indian in Delhi has been seized by the Enforcement Directorate over a case linked to the National Herald newspaper. This caused a two hour blockade at the Congress headquarters. The police have been deployed outside the residences of Congress Chief Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi who were recently questioned by the probe agency. Now, sources in the probe agency seemed to suggest that the offices of the young Indian were temporarily sealed as there was no one from their side to in whose presence searches could be conducted. BJP wants to do is BJP wants said nothing in be made by small and medium businesses they want and everything should be made by two or three of their favourite big business people that that entire idea remember the the money out of people's pockets and put it into a We are seeing an open and investigation for events 10 years ago with a siege mentality in the heart of the capital. The only soul object of this exercise is humiliation, insult and intimidation. At one level, I think you are treating this institution, this party, these leaders as terrorists. Is it an over reaction from the Congress Party or you'll really feel that now they are going to do something to Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi and the office? See, the entire nation has been seeing in the last few months the type of behaviour of this government at the centre. One can say that Modi government has achieved the Himalayan Heights in political vendetta, vindictiveness and absolute responsibility. Today we are just in name a democracy. But dictatorship is there in India today, and unprovoked the type of action which the Delhi police had taken here outside Mrs Gandhi's Wrestle Party headquarters, All India Congress Committee outside Rahul Gandhi Ji's residence. There was no provocation of any kind. But But somebody say that you know that they should be ready for any kind of probe if it quite by the sea you are aware. And entire nation has also seen that Rahul Gandhi ji was called for several days by the more than 50 for hours they had put questions. He answered all those questions. Similarly, Mrs Gandhi was also questioned for several days. He also dead whatever the enforcement directorate wanted her to do. But now what the Delhi Police has done today Why did they do that? There was no provocation. Except that a few days back we have informed are all state units, all our district units, that there should be a protest against price rise against unemployment against GST on essential commodities. And here in Delhi also be announced that all the members of parliament will march up to Rashtrawadi Bhavan to submit a memorandum on all these basic issues faced by the nation. We also said that we will march to the prime residence. Is it to prevent the Congress Party from doing that? Is it to silence the Congress Party from doing all this? Whatever the government wants to do to silence us, they should understand that we will face all challenges. But nobody can silence the Congress party every time a question has been asked that Why did the Congress Party gave in money on loan to a gaol? The Congress Party is not a bank under the representation of people that it is, estimate Lee, a political party that is getting donations for political work not to give a loan there after the entire thing. His transaction is transferred to young Indians owned by the Nehru Gandhi family. So all the Congress Party leadership had to route. That is Mrs Gandhi and Mr Rahul Gandhi is give a straight answer to the questions in sent for 10 years. All be heard is that this is political Wenda vendetta. This is an agenda against us. We will do a Satyagraha. Meanwhile, a 17 opposition parties, including the Trinamool Congress, the DMK, the Aam Aadmi party, Shiv Sena issued a joint statement against the Supreme Court judgement which upheld the amendments to the Prevention of Money Laundering Act of 2002, which gives a sweeping powers to the enforcement directorate, it said. We place on record our deep apprehension on the long term implications of the recent Supreme Court judgement upholding That's for, the statement read. The opposition said that the amendments have made it more conducive for the government to engage in political vendetta.

First of all, that you can see and then you can see the position of Taiwan over there. But the place where Taiwan is situated at the edge of South China Sea Shipping Lane position, about 100 miles from China.
