NEW DELHI: The Associated Journals Ltd, publisher of the National Herald newspaper, had become almost defunct by 2008 when its owners, Congress party, decided to cease the printing and publishing business and started exploring commercial options by renting out AJL’s properties situated at prime locations in Delhi, Mumbai, Panchkula, Lucknow and Patna.

These properties were acquired over the years with the help of Congress governments in the states in which these cities are located at paltry sums for the specific purpose of printing and publishing newspapers.

Then a new entity, Young Indian, which was incorporated in November 2010 by Sonia Gandhi, Oscar Fernandes and some other close friends, entered the scene. It had only Rs 5 lakh in share capital when it came into being. Soon, however, a loan of Rs 1 crore was obtained allegedly from a Kolkata-based shell company so that it could enter into a transaction with the Congress party for the takeover of AJL and all its assets. Sonia Gandhi and her two children, Rahul and Priyanka, are today majority shareholders of Young Indian.
