Bengaluru: Close on the heels of the Enforcement Directorate summoning him for an investigation on the alleged money laundering case, former minister and Congress strongman DK Shivakumar has posted two tweets on his twitter handle stating that he has been a victim of political vendetta.
“IT raid on me was politically motivated for hosting Gujarat Congress MLAs. As a loyal soldier of Congress & a responsible politician, I did what party asked me to do, for which I am being targeted. I have full faith in legal systems & will face this legally as well as politically. Have received a summons from ED late yesterday night at 9.40 PM asking for me to appear at 1PM in Delhi today. Although the sudden scheduling by ED is malafide, I believe in rule of law & will definitely participate & fully co-operate with them and abide by the law of our country.,” the two tweets read.
He is presently in New Delhi to appear before the ED in connection to the IT sleuths seizing unaccounted cash worth Rs 8.59 crore, with no evidence on its source.
