The DMK government's move came hours after its minister V Senthil Balaji, was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate in a money laundering case.
Tamil Nadu today joined the ranks of opposition-ruled states that have withdrawn a general consent for investigation that the Central Bureau of Investigation enjoys. The Central agency will not have to take the state government's permission to undertake investigation in the state and against its residents.
The DMK government's move came hours after its minister V Senthil Balaji, was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate in a money laundering case.
The government had taken strong offence to the Enforcement Directorate's move to searched the home and office of the power minister. Chief Minister MK Stalin had called it "an assault on federalism".
Earlier today, in a statement, Chief Minister MK Stalin had said, "In a needless way they (ED) has breached into the secretariat that has the state's security related confidential files and have staged a drama entering the Minister's office".
