When Sardar Patel warned Nehru on National Herald funding in 1950
Decades before the National Herald case resurfaced, Sardar Patel warned Nehru in May 1950 about dubious fundraising and political misuse of the newspaper. Patel flagged questionable donations and government influence, but Nehru dismissed his concerns. ED has cited these warnings as historical evidence while charging Sonia and Rahul Gandhi in the ₹2,000 crore money laundering case.
