Ahead of Abhishek Banerjee’s ED appearance, Trinamool accuses BJP of misusing Central agencies

Shortly before Trinamool Congress’s national General Secretary Abhishek Banerjee’s scheduled appearance before the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Friday for questioning in the coal smuggling scam, the West Bengal ruling party launched a scathing attack against the BJP and the Union government for “misusing Central agencies”.

On its Twitter handle, the All India Trinamool Congress has described the Central agencies as “puppets” and “parrots” of the BJP.

“It is a matter of great shame that Central agencies are reduced to #PuppetsOfBJP. Whenever, BJP feels threatened, they unleash these ‘parrots’ on those who have not sold their spine of integrity,” the tweet said.
