The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Thursday issued a summons to Trinamool Congress general secretary Abhishek Banerjee on October 3 in connection with the school jobs scam in Kolkata.
The fresh summons by the central agency on the day when Mr. Banerjee is scheduled to lead his party’s protests in Delhi has picked up a political row with the State’s ruling party accusing the BJP government at the Centre of ‘political vendetta’ and attempts to foil the protests.
The summons has been issued for investigation in the school job to Mr. Banerjee and the CEO of a company Leaps and Bounds. The Trinamool leader has been asked to appear before the ED office in Kolkata.
