Minister’s arrest
The political reactions to the Enforcement Directorate’s case against Tamil Nadu Electricity Minister V. Senthilbalaji (Page 1 and Tamil Nadu pages) appear to be odd and coloured. This appears to be a clearcut case of being pursued by the ED, has judicial approval and carries a litany of charges. The Minister has no other option but to give satisfactory answers posed by the investigative agency. Members of the ruling party in the State are firm that the party ‘will not be scared’ and is ‘ready to face the charges legally’.
A number of political leaders from the Opposition parties in Tamil Nadu and elsewhere do not seem to have understood or have chosen to ignore the gravamen of the charges levelled against the Minister.
