Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP Manoj Tiwari said that the Directorate of Enforcement (ED) "does not work by looking at the face" and suggested that "some economic crime must have happened" after the agency conducted searches at Punjab AAP MP Sanjeev Arora's residence on Monday.
Speaking to ANI, MP Tiwari said, "I believe that if ED is investigating, then something must have happened which comes under economic crime. ED does not work by looking at the face. Why are Aam Aadmi Party leaders found involved in economic crimes? "Today the people of Delhi are wondering that when Aam Aadmi Party leaders become big, why do they steal and commit corruption," Tiwari added. On Monday, Aam Admi Party's Rajya Sabha MP Sanjev Arora confirmed that ED conducted searches at his premises as he extended his full cooperation with the agency. In a post on X, Arora said, "I am a law abiding citizen, am not sure about the reason for search operation, will cooperate fully with agencies and make sure all their queries are answered." Senior leader and party MP Sanjay Singh criticsed the search and said that the BJP's fake case making machine is after the AAP. Singh alleged that the ED is targetting the party 24 hours a day. Union Minister Ravneet Singh Bittu called it "Swachh Bharat of a different kind" saying that the agency is "cleaning up corruption, one AAP leader at a time." "Why is AAP making a fuss over ED's raid on Punjab AAP leaders? The party's record is tainted with corruption, be it Arvind Kejriwal, Manish Sisodia, Satendar Jain or Vijay Nair all either under trial or out on bail. With what moral ground are these tainted leaders now trying to shield their MP?" Minister Bittu said in a post on X. "Congress ho ya AAP, Bharat ka Constitution karega usko saaf! This is Swachh Bharat of a different kind, cleaning up corruption, one AAP leader at a time," he added. (ANI)
