AAP Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh has written to the Union finance secretary seeking sanction to prosecute the Enforcement Directorate chief and the assistant director for allegedly making false and derogatory claims against him in connection with the Delhi excise policy case, which he is being probed by the agency. The letter comes after the ED filed an application in court to correct a “typographical/clerical” error related to his name in the charge sheet. Singh alleged that his name was mentioned in the charge sheet “at the behest of the PMO” to defame the party and its leaders. ED sources said the agency moved a petition before the designated special PMLA court to rectify the anomaly in the prosecution complaint after the “typographical/clerical” error came to notice.
You often claim to be educated. Where is it written in the ED lawyer’s letter that Sanjay Singh is not an accused, or that the ED has apologised?” Delhi BJP president Virendra Sachdeva tweeted with a purported response of the ED counsel to the Mr Singh’s lawyer.
“The ED has rather said Sanjay Singh’s notice is illegal. If you cannot read it, get it read by somebody else. Spreading lies and rumours is the true character of Aam Aadmi Party,” he said.
This statement was made by Delhi BJP president Virendra Sachdeva in response to Sanjay Singh’s allegations against the Enforcement Directorate chief and assistant director. Sachdeva is questioning the AAP’s claim that the ED apologized for the error and is accusing them of spreading lies and rumors. However, it is important to note that this is a political statement made by a BJP leader, and the veracity of his claims cannot be independently verified without access to the ED lawyer’s letter and the context in which it was written.
