Mamata Defies ED Raids, Calls I-PAC Attack 'Rebirth'; BJP Alleges Corruption

  • West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee held a protest rally in Kolkata against ED raids on TMC's strategist I-PAC.
  • Banerjee asserted she acted as TMC chief, not CM, to protect party data during the raids, calling it a 'political attack'.
  • The ED alleges Banerjee obstructed raids, took away evidence, and claims I-PAC received Rs 20 crore hawala funds from a coal scam.
  • BJP accused Banerjee of corruption and obstructing justice, while TMC moved Calcutta High Court against the raids.
  • TMC MPs were detained in Delhi protesting outside Amit Shah's office; Mahua Moitra called ED's action 'robbery' of election data.

Why It Matters: Mamata Banerjee fiercely defends her actions during ED raids on I-PAC, escalating political confrontation with BJP.
