Congress today said it will challenge Delhi High Court's decision refusing to quash lower court's summons to party president Sonia Gandhi and Vice President Rahul Gandhi in the National Herald case. Talking to media, party spokesperson Abhishek Manu Singhvi claimed the decision is legally unsustainable. The High Court dismissed Gandhi's pleas challenging summons issued to them in the case in which they have to appear before the trial court tomorrow. <br/><br/>Mr Singhvi said it is strange that Dr Subramaniam Swamy is making allegions of cheating when not a single person of Congress party has claimed to have been cheated. He said they will raise the issue of locus standi and challenge it on all available legal forum. <br/>Briefing media in New Delhi this afternoon, BJP spokesperson Shahnawaz Hussain said law will take its own course and the Gandhis are not above it. He said Sonia and Rahul Gandhi must face the country's law.<br/>The summons were issued on a complaint lodged by Dr Swamy for alleged cheating and misappropriation of funds in acquiring ownership of National Herald newspaper.
