Sanjay Raut, who claimed that Amaravati MP Navneet Kaur Rana had received a loan of Rs 80 lakh from Dawood Ibrahim’s aide Yusuf Lakdawala, again attacked the Rana couple. He said the fund was used to create an atmosphere like 1992. Let us inform that Lakdawala, who was killed in Arthur Road Jail in September 2021, was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on charges of money laundering.
Sanjay Raut said, “Like the 1992 riots, attempts to disturb communal harmony in Maharashtra have links to the underworld. The police and the government can see that the events of the last 15 days, including the Hanuman Chalisa row and loudspeakers, were instigated to create an atmosphere similar to those before the 1992-93 riots. ,
The Shiv Sena MP, who is facing ED action, questioned the central probe agency for not investigating the transaction of Rs 80 lakh. “If Lakdawala robbed ₹200 crore, the Rana couple was a definite beneficiary,” he said.
He further said, “If ₹80 lakh was deposited in Navneet’s account from Lakdawala’s account, why was it not investigated? My question is to the ED. For ₹20 lakh- ₹25 lakh, you bars our ministers.” You attach our properties. Then for Lakdawala, who was in your custody in a money laundering case of ₹200 crore, you called all those who had financial dealings with him, then the Rana couple went for this inquiry. Why did you escape?”
I will write a letter to the speaker- Raut
Taking a jibe at the BJP, Raut said he would write a letter to Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla about his alleged links with the underworld. “I will also write to Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla and inform him about this. No political party should take the side of such people who want to destabilize the country and divide the country in the name of religion.
Hitting out at former chief minister Devendra Fadnavis, Raut asked why the opposition leaders were silent on the issue. Why is Devendra Fadnavis silent on this? He did not speak after the Mumbai commissioner posted a video denying the allegations of misbehavior with him. In fact, the BJP should demand an ED probe on this.
