The Supreme Court judgment that spells out the powers of the Enforcement Directorate (ED) will have far reaching implications for India’s democracy, the Congress said on July 27.
In a statement, the party’s communication chief Jairam Ramesh, who had moved the Supreme Court to examine whether or not the Prevention of the Money Laundering Act (PMLA) can be classified as a Money Bill, noted that the court has referred the matter raised by him to a larger Bench.
“The judgment pronounced by the Hon’ble Supreme Court on the powers of the Enforcement Directorate today will have far-reaching implications for our democracy, especially when Governments are anchored in political vendetta,” Mr. Ramesh said.
