Member of Parliament from the All India Trinamool Congress, and West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee’s nephew, Abhishek Banerjee was questioned by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in Kolkata on Friday. It was the third time in a year that the Trinamool MP was being questioned in connection with an alleged coal scam.
Although Trinamool’s image in the public eye was slightly tarnished with two of its prominent leaders now in jail for alleged corruption, the party itself was going strong. After his questioning, Banerjee spent about 40 minutes talking to the media outside the ED’s Kolkata office.
