Patole accused the Centre of hatching a conspiracy to implicate Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi in a false case.
The ED has issued summons against Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi in a money-laundering case linked to the National Herald-AJL deal.
Patole informs that the protest will be held outside the offices of ED in Mumbai and Nagpur wherein all leaders and ministers of Congress will be present. The protest in Mumbai will be led by Patole and the one in Nagpur by Energy Minister Nitin Raut.

He alleged the BJP government is acting with a political vendetta against Gandhi.
"As part of the Central government's ploy to silence the opposition by misusing the Central agencies, the ED has issued notices to Soniaji and Rahulji by implicating them in a fake case. To protest against this dictatorial attitude of the BJP, protests will be held in front of the ED offices in Mumbai and Nagpur on June 13," said Patole.
"The Modi government has turned the Central investigative agencies like the CBI, ED, Income Tax, NCB into puppets and they are being misused to silence the opposition. Leaders of opposition parties across the country are being raided and action is being taken against them. The Congress party has been constantly raising its voice against the oppressive, tyrannical and arbitrary rule of the BJP," he added.
