Congress leader Karti Chidambaram said that the Enforcement Directorate (ED) was weaponised earlier, now after the Supreme Court judgement, it has become a “weapon of mass destruction”. “It is ridiculous that they (ED) raid the premises of a publication whose transactions are anyway captured in the books of accounts,” he said.
Responding to ED raids at National Herald offices at 12 locations, Chidambaram said, “This is only for sensationalism, and to create discomfort to people in office and organisation. ED will be known as the ‘hatchet agency’ of this BJP government.”
