Congress President Sonia Gandhi's son-in-law Robert Vadra on Thursday said he was being used for "political gains", adding that baseless accusations were leveled against him by "governments" for "almost a decade".

"Almost a decade of governments false and baseless accusations on me! They cannot prove anything without proof, and there is nothing there to prove..." Vadra said in a post on his Facebook page.

"I will always be used for political gains, I know ... But I will walk with my head held high, as in time and with the truth which will conquer incorrect perceptions, created about me," he said in the post.

Vadra has recently been issued a notice by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) for his alleged involvement in a land scam in Bikaner.

At the same time, the Justice S N Dhingra Commission enquiry report into controversial land deals in Haryana is likely to be submitted soon.

The one-man Dhingra commission, set up by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government in Haryana in May 2015 to probe controversial land deals in Haryana, including Vadra's land deals.
