New Delhi, Aug 26
The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Tuesday slammed the Enforcement Directorate's (ED) raids at their party leader Saurabh Bharadwaj's residence, calling it a "politically motivated" action orchestrated by the BJP.
The ED is conducting searches at 13 locations, in addition to Bharadwaj's residence, in connection with a money laundering case linked to alleged irregularities in the construction of hospitals in the national capital.
The search operation at Bharadwaj's residence began in the morning and was still underway at the time of reporting.
AAP national convenor and former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal called the raids "another case of the Modi government misusing agencies".
Taking to X, he said, "The Modi government has gone after the Aam Aadmi Party. The way AAP is being targeted has never been done to any party in history. AAP is being targeted because it is the most vocal voice against the Modi government's wrong policies and corrupt deeds. The Modi government wants to suppress our voice. This will never happen."
Kejriwal said the AAP will "not be scared of these BJP raids".
"We will continue to raise our voice against wrong policies and corruption in the interest of the country, as always," he added.
