Karnataka Congress president D. K. Shivakumar on Monday appeared before the Enforcement Directorate (ED) for recording his statement in a money laundering case.
“I have faith in the judicial system of India. One day I will be proven innocent of all charges. The political vendetta and harassment against me is the price I am paying for speaking up for the people of Karnataka, for speaking about issues such as unemployment and price rise,” he tweeted after his visit to the ED’s Delhi office.
Responding to the development, Congress general secretary Randeep Singh Surjewala tweeted: “The ED harassment & persecution of @DKShivakumar is in stark contrast to the clean chit given by Modi Govt to its own “dented & tainted” 40% Commission Govt. in Karnataka. Truth will prevail and this revengeful persecution by BJP’s ED won’t prevent a Congress victory in 2023.”
