"Convenient...": Abhishek Banerjee Slams Agency Summons On Day Of INDIA Meet
NDTV
Mr Banerjee, who is also being investigated for his role in an alleged coal smuggling scam, has always denied all accusations and stated that legal action against him is born out of a political vendetta.
Trinamool Congress MP Abhishek Banerjee on Sunday said he had received a summons from the Enforcement Directorate "on the very same day" he is to attend the first meeting of the coordination committee of the INDIA opposition alliance - a 28-party bloc seen as gaining momentum in its bid to defeat the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party in next year's Lok Sabha election. FIRST meet of INDIA's coordination comm is on 13th Sept in Delhi, where I'm a member. But, @dir_ed conveniently served me a notice just now to appear before thm on the VERY SAME DAY! One can't help but marvel at the TIMIDITY & VACUOSNESS of the 56-inch chest model. #FearofINDIA
"FIRST meet of INDIA's coordination comm is on 13th Sept in Delhi, where I'm a member. But Enforcement Directorate conveniently served me a notice just now to appear before him on the VERY SAME DAY!" Mr Banerjee posted on X.
Mr Banerjee's post comes as the central agency and he spar over "incriminating documents" the ED claimed it had found in raids last month on premises of a firm that lists him as its chief executive officer. The ED had searched offices in connection with its inquiry into alleged irregularities in appointments in government-run and government-aided schools.
