In the wake of the Delhi High Court order asking the National Herald newspaper's publisher to vacate the Herald House within two weeks, the BJP on Saturday hit out at UPA Chairperson Sonia Gandhi and party President Rahul Gandhi, saying they have been issuing public property.

"The court has found questionable as to how public premises and land worth Rs 5,000 crore including the property build on it could surreptitiously be transferred to the family trust for a consideration of Rs 50 lakh. Sonia Gandhi and Rahul must reply...," Union Cabinet Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad told the media.
