The debate on the Delhi services Bill in the Lok Sabha not only saw Home Minister Amit Shah asserting that Narendra Modi will become the Prime Minister in 2024 but also had moments when the Opposition leaders claimed their allegation about misusing Enforcement Directorate (ED) had been proven right.
Responding to a jibe from an Opposition member on misusing the ED, Union Minister Meenakshi Lekhi, who is also a Lok Sabha member from Delhi, advised the Opposition member to keep quiet or else the ED may visit his place.
While she clarified that she had made the comment in jest, the Lok Sabha Chair too made it clear that the comment was not part of the official records. However, on Friday, Opposition parties used Ms. Lekhi’s comment to target the Narendra Modi government.
