Congress President Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury Criticizes ED, Calls it ‘Idiot’

West Bengal Congress President Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury, at a press conference in Murshidabad, termed the Directorate of Enforcement (ED) an ‘idiot’ in response to the agency’s summons to National Conference President Farooq Abdullah. Chowdhury alleged that the ED operates under the command of the central government, stating, “Whom the ED will summon and whom not is the ED’s own matter. We just know that our ED is an ‘idiot’ and it only runs on the directions of the (central) government.”

He further labeled the ED’s actions as a conspiracy against Farooq Abdullah, emphasizing that Abdullah is a renowned politician. The Enforcement Directorate had summoned Farooq Abdullah for questioning in connection with an alleged money laundering case related to the Jammu and Kashmir Cricket Association.

This is not the first time Chowdhury has criticized the ED, as he had previously referred to the agency as an “idiot” while commenting on a lookout circular issued against TMC leader Shahjahan Sheikh after an attack on the ED team in West Bengal.

The political discourse surrounding the ED’s actions and criticism highlights the contentious nature of investigations involving prominent political figures.
