Rajya Sabha MP Kapil Sibal on Wednesday (July 12) took a swipe at Home Minister Amit Shah over his remarks that it is not important who the director of the Enforcement Directorate is, asking why did the government then give a third extension to the probe agency's chief Sanjay Kumar Mishra.
Mr. Sibal's remarks came a day after the Supreme Court held as "illegal" two successive extensions of one year each granted to the Enforcement Directorate chief, ruling that the Centre's orders were in "breach" of its mandamus in its 2021 verdict that the IRS officer should not be given further term.
After the Supreme Court ruling, Mr. Shah said who the ED director is not important because whoever assumes this role will take note of the rampant corruption of a cozy club of entitled dynasts who have an anti-development mindset.
