Opposition leaders have accused Centre of using central investigating agencies like the ED and the CBI to suppress dissent.
A day after the Enforcement Directorate (ED) summoned former Bihar Chief Minister and RJD chief Lalu Yadav and him in connection with the land-for-job scam, Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Yadav hit out at the Centre on Thursday, stating that it has become "routine" now.
"I have been going always; it's a routine. I went earlier as well. From 2017 to 2023, I have been going regularly whenever ED, Income Tax or CBI called me. What would these agencies do? They are also pressurised," Mr Yadav told reporters.
Opposition leaders have accused Centre of using central investigating agencies like the Enforcement Directorate (ED) and the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to suppress dissent. Opposition parties claim that 95% of all political leaders investigated by the ED and CBI were from opposition parties.
