The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on January 6 hit out at the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Enforcement Directorate (ED) for allegedly summoning two farmers from Tamil Nadu to Delhi merely because the farmers have an ongoing case against a local BJP leader. The AAP said the farmers have only ₹450 in their bank accounts.
“The ED has become a political weapon for the BJP, not to investigate but to silence the Opposition. The level of the ED under the BJP’s rule has fallen so much that now the ED is summoning two elderly poor farmers who simply opposed a BJP leader,” senior AAP leader Atishi said at a press conference.
The AAP leader said that with this act, the BJP-led Central government has presented evidence before the nation that the ED is merely a tool for them to orchestrate political conspiracies.
