A BJP member today made a strong plea in the Lok Sabha that the Enforcement Directorate expeditiously unearth the money laundering in the Bikaner land scam case in Rajasthan, suggesting that it is connected to a company linked to Sonia Gandhi's son-in-law Robert Vadra.
Raising the issue during Zero Hour, Kirit Somaiah did not take any name but referred to "brother-in-law" of the family, an apparent reference to Vadra.
He said the land involved in the scam is 1400 acres.
Reports recently had it that the Enforcement Directorate conducted searches at various locations in Rajasthan in connection with the Bikaner land scam case.
Congress has already refuted reports that Vadra has any land in Bikaner.
