The Trinamool Congress members demanded that the chiefs of the ED, CBI, NIA, and Income Tax Department be replaced
Digital Desk: Several Trinamool Congress (TMC) leaders were held by Delhi Police on Monday while sitting on a 24-hour 'dharna' outside the Election Commission of India's (ECI) office.
The Trinamool Congress members demanded that the chiefs of the Enforcement Directorate (ED), Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), National Investigation Agency (NIA), and Income Tax Department be replaced.
A 10-member TMC delegation, including Derek O'Brien, Mohammed Nadimul Haque, Dola Sen, Saket Gokhale, and Sagarika Ghose, MLA Vivek Gupta, former MPs Arpita Ghosh, Santanu Sen, and Abir Ranjan Biswas, and the party's students' wing West Bengal vice president Sudip Raha, staged the protest after meeting with the poll body's full bench to press their demand.
“TMC leaders, protesting against central government outside Election Commission office in Delhi, detained by police,” news agency PTI tweets.
Saket Gokhale tweets, “Delhi Police has kidnapped us 5 TMC MPs & 4 former MPs. We were protesting at EC & were told we’ll be taken to Mandir Marg Police Station. And then, suddenly, the bus has been diverted & going to an unknown location. Note this - 5 SITTING MPs & 4 former MPs assaulted, detained, & now being illegally taken to some unknown place by @DelhiPolice.”
According to the Mamata Banerjee-led party, they are voicing concerns over the BJP's "misuse" of NIA to "wrongfully intimidate" party workers ahead of the general election.“We shall not tolerate such unconstitutional attempts to harm the sanctity of our democracy and have pledged to stand together to take all necessary steps to put an end to such activities,” TMC posted on X, which used to be known as Twitter.
