Independent MP Kapil Sibal has questioned the timing of Enforcement Directorate (ED) raids on opposition leaders and entities, particularly during election periods. He alleged the ED is being misused by the BJP to target opposition parties and harass state governments, citing actions in West Bengal, Jharkhand, and Bihar. Sibal also criticized the ED's broad jurisdiction and urged the Supreme Court to address pending review petitions on probe agency powers, expressing concern for the federal structure.
