Bengaluru: The Congress workers on Wednesday staged a massive demonstration in front of the Enforcement Directorate office at Shanti Nagar here, condemning the filing of a charge sheet against Congress leaders Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi in a money laundering case involving National Herald newspaper.

Holding the party flags, placards and sporting the party scarves, the Congress activists raised slogans against the BJP and the ED.
