'No Action Executed For Revenge': Nirmala Sitharaman On Chhattisgarh Raids

Any agency first collects data and only then action is taken, said Nirmala Sitharaman.

On a query over the Directorate of Enforcement's ongoing raids on Congress leaders in Chhattisgarh, Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Monday said no action is executed with a sense of revenge.

At the post-Budget press conference in Jaipur, the Finance Minister said, "Any agency first collects data and only then action is taken. No action is executed with sense of revenge."

She also said that Congress should learn to listen while sitting in the Parliament.

The Directorate of Enforcement (ED) on Monday conducted fresh searches at nearly a dozen locations in Chhattisgarh over mining and alleged coal levy scam. The places searched include residential and office premises of various Congress leaders, namely Ram Gopal Agarwal, Girish Devangan, RP Singh, Vinod Tiwari ad Sunny Agrawal, said sources.
