Money Laundering Cases
Delhi minister Atishi urged the ED on Saturday to disclose the action taken against BJP leaders in relation to alleged money laundering cases, one day after receiving a notice from the Election Commission.
The top AAP politician attacked the Election Commission during a press conference held here, claiming that the electoral authority operated on behalf of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
Atishi said that the BJP had asked her to join the party or get ready to be arrested by the Enforcement Directorate within a month, thus the EC sent her a notice in response to her allegations.
“AAP leaders Sanjay Singh, Manish Sisodia, and even our party’s national convener, Arvind Kejriwal ji, were detained by the ED on the pretext of mere doubt, despite the fact that no evidence of financial wrongdoing was discovered against them.
“In cases where the investigation agency has been able to establish a money trail, what action has the ED taken against the BJP leaders?” she enquired.
Last month, the AAP requested that the ED open a probe against the BJP on the grounds that the saffron party obtained electoral bonds worth crores of rupees from a suspect in the alleged Delhi excise policy fraud.
The party further demanded that the ED bring a case against the BJP on the grounds that the saffron party was linked to the case’s money trail.
Atishi charged at the press conference that the BJP was targeting the opposition using the Election Commission, much like other federal agencies.
“The AAP leaders have been targeted and arrested by the BJP through the use of agencies such as the CBI, ED, and now the Election Commission. She remarked, “I want to tell the BJP that it should fight AAP in the elections and stop hiding behind these agencies.”
