ED’s notice to Rahul baseless: Senior Congress leader P. Chidambaram on Sunday said that the Enforcement Directorate summons sent to Rahul Gandhi in the money laundering case is completely baseless. It seems that the jurisdiction of the investigating agency does not extend to BJP leaders or even the states ruled by the party. Chidambaram told ‘PTI-Bhasha’, “I want to make my point as a Congress member and a lawyer. The ED summons sent to Rahul Gandhi under PMLA (Prevention of Money Laundering Act) is baseless.”
The former Union Home Minister said that in the National Herald case, debt has been converted into equity and lending banks do so on a regular basis. In this case there was no money transfer. So how can it be called a case of money laundering, he said. He argued, “It is like accusing a person of the offense of ‘snatching a wallet’ when there was no wallet and it was not even snatched.
On allegations that agencies like ED and CBI were used against the opposition, Chidambaram said the “selective action” of the investigating agencies has created doubts in the minds of the opposition parties.
