ED raid part of Modi’s plan to crush AAP, says Kejriwal after meeting Amanatullah
The HinduA day after the Enforcement Directorate raided the premises of Aam Aadmi Party MLA Amanatullah Khan in Delhi in connection with a money-laundering case, the party’s national convener and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal charged Prime Minister Narendra Modi with trying to “crush and finish AAP”. ‘Not a victim’ Rubbishing the CM’s claim, Delhi BJP chief Virendra Sachdeva said Mr. Kejriwal and his party were “mired in corruption” and that the Delhi CM’s claim about the Centre victimising AAP MLAs and Ministers was not true. Meanwhile, the ED, in a statement on Wednesday, alleged that Mr. Khan, the AAP MLA from Okhla, had acquired “huge proceeds of crime” in the form of cash from illegal recruitment in the Delhi Waqf Board and invested it in purchasing immovable assets in the name of his associates. ‘Old pattern’ The CM said Mr. Modi had “directed” Central investigating agencies to conduct raids at the residence of AAP leaders earlier as well.
