"Mamata Banerjee's Actions Put Democracy In Jeopardy": Top Court In I-PAC Case
It's not okay, the Supreme Court observed on Wednesday, disapproving of Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee's act of walking into the midst of an investigation by a central agency and putting "democracy in jeopardy". The stinging remarks come a day before the state goes to polls.
The Enforcement Directorate, or ED, has accused Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and state officials of interfering with its investigation and searches at the offices of political consultancy firm Indian Political Action Committee, or I-PAC, which works with the Trinamool. The raids happened in early January as part of a money laundering investigation.
