Congress approaches EC over raids on Punjab CM Channi's relatives

Congress delegation met Election Commissioner over 'politically motivated' ED raids on Punjab CM's relatives ahead of the Assembly elections.

Congress on Thursday approached the Election Commission (EC) over the Enforcement Directorate (ED) raids on Punjab Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi's relative ahead of the upcoming polls. Congress alleged the raids were 'politically motivated'.

Congress leader Randeep Surjewala asked the EC to intervene and direct finance ministry and ED to stop politically motivated raids as they violate the Model Code of Conduct. A Congress delegation comprising Randeep Surjewala, Abhishek Singhvi, Harish Chaudhary, Devender Yadav, Ganesh Godiyal, and others met the CEC virtually to protest against the 'politically motivated' raids.
