With Congress national leaders Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi contending that the Directorate of Enforcement (ED) is being used by the ruling BJP for “political vendetta”, Manithaneya Makkal Katchi (MMK) leader M.H. Jawahirullah said on Friday that leaders of the Tamil Nadu Congress Committee should explain their position on Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay’s citing ED documents to make allegations of corruption against the DMK in the Assembly recently.
In an interview with The Hindu , Mr. Jawahirullah said, “We know very well about the National Herald case. The Tamil Nadu’s Congress leaders should explain whether they are supporting the ED, which has been opposed by its national leadership,” he said.
