Event Summary

Stalin, chief of the India — Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK), strongly condemned the raids, alleging that central agencies are being 'weaponised' against opposition leaders. The India — Communist Party of India (Marxist) (CPI(M)) echoed this sentiment, accusing the India — Bharatiya Janata Party-led Centre of using agencies like the India — Enforcement Directorate to intimidate political rivals and suppress dissent.
