New Delhi [India]: After AAP MP Sanjay Singh was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate on Wednesday, Delhi Congress President Arvinder Singh Lovely said that Congress does not support any type of irregularities.
Speaking to media, Lovely said, “Congress doesn’t support any type of irregularities and action should be taken against those found guilty in liquor policy case. If any person is found involved then the person should be arrested.”
However, he stated that investigative agencies “cannot be used to fulfill political agendas.”
“But if a person is being arrested on the basis that he/she is not cooperating in the investigation, then it is a misuse of the agencies. Investigative agencies cannot be used to fulfill political agendas,” he said.
The Enforcement Directorate on Wednesday arrested Aam Admi Party MP Sanjay Singh in connection with a money laundering case linked to the now-withdrawn new excise policy of Delhi.
The arrest came hours after the ED conducted raids at the residence of the AAP Rajya Sabha MP in connection with the case.
It is the second high-profile arrest in the case after former Delhi deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia was arrested in March this year.
