ED Raids on Pinarayi Vijayan Spark Political Reactions and Debate in IndiaPreviousNext

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) conducted raids at multiple locations, including former Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan's residences, prompting varied political reactions. Opposition leaders like DMK's M.K. Stalin and AAP's Arvind Kejriwal condemned the raids as misuse of central agencies targeting regional parties, questioning BJP-Congress relations. CPI(M) leaders described the actions as political vendetta, while Congress accused CPI(M) of provocative protests and defended the raids as court-ordered legal actions. The controversy has intensified political tensions in Kerala and beyond.
