"On top of theft....", BJP's Nishikant Dubey lashes out at West Bengal government over attack on ED team

Deoghar (Jharkhand) [India], January 6 : A day after a team of the Enforcement Directorate (ED) was attacked in West Bengal's North 24 Parganas, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP Nishikant Dubey lashed out at the state government.
He said, "This is called 'on top of theft, showing off your chest'. All the corrupt people are distressed. Prime Minister Narendra Modiji's slogan, 'Na khaunga, Na khane dunga', is proving to be successful and the public too is supporting him on this."
"Just a few more months are left before Narendra Modi will again take charge as Prime Minister. All the thieves will hide in their homes," he added.
On Thursday night, an Enforcement Directorate (ED) team was attacked and its vehicles damaged in Sandeshkhali village of North 24 Parganas in West Bengal when it tried to raid the residence of block-level leaders of the ruling Trinamool Congress (TMC) in connection with an alleged ration scam case, an official of the agency said.
The ED was conducting raids at the residence of former Bongaon Municipality Chairman Shankar Adhya in Bangaon and TMC leader Sheikh Shahjahan's house in connection with the alleged ration scam case.Sheikh Shahjahan is the Fisheries and Animal Resources Officer of North 24 Parganas Zilla Parishad as well as the Block President of Sandeshkhali 1. The Trinamool Congress leader's supporters started protesting outside the leader's residence while the raid was underway and later on a mob attacked ED officials and vandalised their cars, according to ED officials.
Two officials of the agency sustained injuries in the incident.
The attack on the ED team in West Bengal has triggered sharp reactions from BJP leaders.
Earlier today, Union Minister Giriraj Singh said, "There is nothing called 'democracy' in West Bengal. This is the 'Kim Jong Un's' government. The government works to break the federal structure."
Meanwhile, Trinamool Congress (TMC) leader Kunal Ghosh on Friday said that the attack on the team of the Enforcement Directorate (ED) at Sandeshkhali in the North 24 Parganas district of West Bengal was an "effect of provocation".Kunal Ghosh further alleged that the Central agency is working against the leader of his party at the behest of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
"What happened in Sandeskhali was an effect of provocation. In West Bengal, central agencies and forces on the instructions of the BJP are going to the residence of one or the other TMC leader or workers to harass, spread negative statements and provoke people. We are receiving such allegations and that's what happened in Sandeshkhali yesterday," Ghosh said.
