The Deputy Chief Minister of Karnataka, D K Shivakumar, has criticized the alleged political misuse of the Enforcement Directorate (ED), using his personal experience as an exemplar of abuse.
Addressing the media in Kodihalli, Shivakumar referenced the Supreme Court's dismissal of the ED's appeal in the Mysuru Urban Development Authority (MUDA) case. He argues this pattern reflects the selective targeting of political figures.
Shivakumar raises concerns about why the ED frequently targets Congress leaders, questioning the absence of cases against BJP members. This follows the Supreme Court's dismissal of ED notices against high-profile figures in the MUDA case, highlighting a stance against the agency's practices under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act.
