Tamil Nadu Law Minister S. Regupathy on March 10 alleged that the BJP government at the Centre had pressed the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) into action “to defame and intimidate the DMK”.
Referring to the arrest of former DMK functionary and film producer Jaffer Sadiq by the NCB in Delhi on Saturday, he alleged, “The Deputy Director of the NCB, Gyaneshwar Singh, interacted with the media about the case before the investigation was completed only to gain political mileage for the BJP during the election.”
Addressing the media, Mr. Regupathy and DMK Rajya Sabha member P. Wilson said that the party would initiate legal and criminal proceedings against anyone who sought to link the party with the accused in the drug cartel case.
