Hitting out at the Modi government, Rajya Sabha MP Kapil Sibal called Enforcement Directorate the government’s ‘valentine’. While addressing a press conference in New Delhi, he also announced that he would be protesting at Jantar Mantar on March 11, along with Opposition leaders.
“Government's Valentine is ED, put it behind anyone, ED can enter anywhere without the government’s permission. The government should be for the people but it is government vs citizens. Till date, have you ever heard that ED has gone to the place of some BJP leader? Has ED raised an action against any of the BJP leaders? Assuring the dignity of the individual, not on the basis of his religion and thoughts, Constitution says that first of all, you are a citizen of India, then comes what is your religion, what is your caste,” he said.
