Why is INDIA bloc silent on Odisha cash seizures: Amit Shah

Union Home Minister Amit Shah on December 10 asked why the Opposition INDIA bloc was silent on the seizure of cash from entities linked to Congress MP Dhiraj Sahu in Odisha.

“I am greatly surprised by the recovery of the huge amount of cash from the home of an MP. I do not think that after independence such a big amount of cash has been ever recovered from any MP representing a political party. Hundreds of crores of cash are recovered from the home of an MP and the entire INDI Alliance is silent on this issue of corruption.”

Mr. Shah, who was interacting with the media after chairing the meeting of Eastern Zonal Council (EZC) here, said that when the Modi government cracked down on corruption, the Opposition accused it of misusing Central agencies.
