It is time for courts to wake up to the blatant misuse of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), Rajya Sabha MP Kapil Sibal said on Wednesday (November 01), days after the Enforcement Directorate summoned Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal for questioning.
The probe agency was targeting leaders of almost all Opposition parties, he alleged, adding that the ED and denial of bail to leaders has become a "political weapon" in the hands of the government.
Mr. Kejriwal has been issued the summons under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) and according to sources, the ED will record his statement in an excise policy-related case once he deposes at the probe agency's Delhi office at 11 a.m. on November 2.
