AAP accuses ED of conducting raids to divert attention from degree issue https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Do_MFuDI5BM Aug 26, 2025
Why does ED often raid opposition leaders' houses? Doesn't ED get any clue about corruption of BJP ministers and chief ministers? In Uttarakhand, BJP's own MPs are accusing of illegal mining, then why doesn't ED conduct raids there? Is ED used in corruption cases also so that it becomes difficult to get bail after arrest? After ED raids at Saurabh Bhardwaj's house, talks have started again about ED's records, the question is why doesn't Modi government fix accountability of this investigation agency?
CPIM MP A.A. Rahim asked whether the government would disclose how many ED cases have been registered against MPs, MLAs of different political parties and members of local administration in the last 10 years?
Responding to his question, Minister of State for Finance Pankaj said that no such data is collected. In his reply, he said that out of the 193 cases filed by the ED in the last 10 years, conviction could be achieved in only two cases. In just two of the 10 years, the highest cases, 32, were registered between 2022 and 23. This is a record in the year just before the elections.
If the opposition MPs had not raised a hue and cry over the use of investigative agencies, held a press conference and had not sought information in Parliament and repeatedly reprimanded the Supreme Court, then no one would have known how the bureaucracy of this country is being used to eliminate the opposition of the Mother of Democracy.
