New Delhi, Aug 1: Congress leader in the Lok Sabha Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury on Monday came out in support of arrested Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut and said the latter’s only “crime” was that he was not cowed down by the politics of the BJP.
Attacking the government over Raut’s arrest by the Enforcement Directorate (ED), Chowdhury tweeted: “The only crime Sanjay Raut has committed that he has not been cowed down by the politics of intimidation of the BJP.
“He is a man of conviction and courage. We are with Sanjay Raut,” he said.
The ED on Sunday arrested Raut in Mumbai in connection with money laundering cases related to alleged irregularities in the re-development of Patra Chawl.
The opposition, including the Congress, has been accusing the BJP-led government at the Centre of unleashing the ED against its opponent.
