Slamming the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) over the ‘harassment’ of Congress leader Rahul Gandhi using Enforcement Directorate (ED), Shiv Sena on Thursday said that the principle that ‘all are equal before law’ is dead in the country.
“The ED only targets leaders of Shiv Sena, Congress, Trinamool, Samajwadi Party, Jharkhand Mukti Morcha and RJD. The ED officials barge in to houses of leaders of these parties. But they never bothered BJP leaders ever. Dr. Subramaniam Swamy who had raised the issue of National Herald is pointing fingers at financial transactions in IPL. But the law that is applied to National Herald is not used for IPL. The principle that law is equal for all is dead in this country,” said an editorial in party mouthpiece.
It said that the only tool remained to be used to finish off the Opposition from the country is a gas chamber as used by the Hitler. “Political vendetta is heading towards that and no rule of law is seen in the country,” it said.
