Kolkata: Trinamool Congress National General Secretary Abhishek Banerjee said on Monday, “Truth is mighty and will prevail. ”
Taking to Twitter, Banerjee said, “It is truly disheartening to behold the presence of inept and incompetent individuals within the ranks of the Enforcement Directorate (ED), who possess an unparalleled talent for disseminating concocted tales to the media on a biweekly basis, all in service of their political benefactors.”
“Regrettably, despite investing years and taxpayers’ money into their investigative endeavours, they consistently fail to present substantive evidence before the court, thereby clearly neglecting their responsibility to serve the nation,” he added.
“It is worth nothing that neither the ED nor the media publications, much like the BJP leaders in West Bengal, possess the confidence, courage, or conviction to explicitly accuse me of the allegation they espouse,” he asserted.
“One cannot help but feel empathetic towards these unfortunate and frustrated souls. These leave us no room for surprise as to why the ED’s conviction rate languishes at a mere 0.5 percent,” Banerjee reiterated.
