https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJ8JGSF-uTI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7kka_7tke_4 Feb 6, 2024 In Central Hall, Kapil Sibal is in conversation with P Chidambaram, his colleague in the Rajya Sabha. Both, eminent lawyers discuss the misuse of the law by the Modi government on election eve, especially to kill any opposiiton, drive fear into opponents and break the governance in states by first going after officers and then family members of top politicians. They say this is hurting the backbone of India's democracy, its federalism. P Chidambaram asks what will happen if State police start arresting Union ministers in the same vein.
Comment by @GururajBN We have been hearing the cry about the political misuse of ED, CBI, IT department ever since Modi came to power. Investigated politicians cry "Political vendetta", misuse of agency etc. But not a single person has claimed that he is innocent, and is not corrupt! Every single investigated politician knows what is his worth - that he is corrupt, but does not want to be investigated.
@jagmohansingh2994 You should make a poll promise that all the central investigating agencies will act as constitutional authority by way of amendment.
@battegovind Definitely courts will go into more detail on every move of ED, if criminal politicians stop misusing of their powers, corruption, scandals, scams, etc. This persons entire family are a bunch of corrupt and were in jails. Because of some sympathy by judges are treated decently by giving bails, not making ED to attach their entire properties, bank accounts
