Sharad Pawar meets PM Modi as ED raises heat on Sena MP Sanjay Raut

  Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) chief Sharad Pawar on Wednesday met Prime Minister Narendra Modi amid mounting Enforcement Directorate heat on Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut.
Pawar flagged the Tuesday ED move of attaching assets worth Rs 11.15 crore in the name of Raut’s wife and two associates, terming the developments as unjust.
Pawar, accompanied by NCP Lok Sabha member PP Mohammad Faizal, met the PM at Parliament House and alleged that Central agencies were hounding opposition leaders.
Pawar also flagged “inaction of Maharashtra Governor Bhagat Singh Koshiyari in the matter of Maharashtra Government’s proposal regarding state Legislative Council nominations”.
“What was the basis of ED action against Raut? This is injustice. What was the provocation? Just because he is making some statements and criticizing the government does not mean action should be taken against him. What was the need?” Pawar said later.
He said it was his duty to flag to the PM injustice being done to a journalist and senior Parliamentarian. Raut is the editor of Sena mouthpiece “Saamna”.
On Tuesday, the ED attached assets of Raut’s wife and two associates in a money-laundering probe linked to some land deals.
Commenting on the impact of ED raids on the stability of Shiv Sena-NCP-Congress alliance government in Maharashtra, Pawar said the Maha Vikas Aghadi would complete its term.
“The MVA will also return to power in 2024,” the NCP chief said. Before the NCP supremo met the PM today, the CBI took the custody of former Maharashtra home minister Anil Deshmukh.
