Hours after West Bengal cabinet minister Partha Chatterjee was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate in a money laundering case linked to the alleged teacher recruitment scam in the state, the Trinamool Congress (TMC) said the party had no links with the money seized from the minister’s aide, Arpita Mukherjee.
Trinamool Congress (TMC) leader and West Bengal power minister Aroop Biswas said, “The party has no links to the person from whose house the money has been recovered.”
The power minister said the party had faith in the legal system of the country.
“If the allegations against Partha Chatterjee are proved to be true, the TMC government will take strict action against the minister.”
TMC leader and Kolkata Mayor Firhad Hakim said Partha Chatterjee was framed as he chose to remain with TMC and refused to join the BJP.
“Partha Chatterjee was framed as he chose to remain in TMC and he rejected to be in BJP's washing machine,” he said.
“BJP is indulging in the politics of conspiracy. Had Partha Chatterjee joined the BJP before the polls, he would have been clean using the BJP washing machine. If someone is being targeted because of conspiracy, we will surely oppose it,” he said.
The matter pertains to a petition filed by one Nikhil Kumar Punia, who was born into an upper-caste Hindu family but supposedly converted to Buddhism later. He, along with another General Category candidate, has sought minority reservation benefits for admission to a Buddhist medical college on grounds of their purported conversion.
