“My brother and I’ve been summoned. I am it. I am occupied with our nationwide president’s applications on Nov 7. I will take a call on it at this time: Karnataka Cong chief DK Shivakumar on ED’s summons asking him to look earlier than it on Nov 7 in a cash laundering case,” it tweeted.
The ED final summoned the siblings on October 7; they requested an extension of the date of their look because the Congress social gathering was within the midst of the Bharat Jodo Yatra in Karnataka.
