The list of Congress leaders who are out on bail is very long and involves interim Congress chief Sonia Gandhi, her son Rahul, its Kerala MP Shashi Tharoor and many others.
Among other Congress leaders who are under the scanner are former MP chief minister Digvijay Singh, former UPPCC chief Raj Babbar, former Himachal Pradesh CM Virbhadra Singh, former Congress party treasurer Motilal Vora and former Punjab minister Navjot Singh Siddhu.
The first two names name in the list are of the mother and son duo at the helm of the party - Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi - the one being the interim president and current chairperson of the UPA and the other being the former party president. The mother-son duo is currently out on bail in the National Herald case.
