The presence of West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee during the raid on the offices of I-PAC by the Enforcement Directorate is not a good situation, the Supreme Court today made a strong comment on this and raised the question that this is not at all right, it is an unusual incident. In such a situation, can the central agency be left without any solution? The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has approached the Supreme Court over the CM’s interference during the raids, with the agency terming Mamata Banerjee’s move – walking out of election consultant I-PAC chief Prateek Jain’s house and offices with laptops, phones and several documents – as a gross abuse of power. The next hearing of this case will be on March 24.
