Union Minister of Social Justice and Empowerment Ramdas Athawale gave befitting reply saying that Sanjay Raut is now being probed by ED in Patra Chawl scam case and he will have to follow the law
He made the comments when the former Maharashtra CM Uddhav Thackeray quoted dialogue of ‘Pushpa’ movie – “jhukega nahi” soom after the arrest of Sanjay Raut
The Union Minister said, “Allegations can be levelled against anyone but there is absolutely no fact in the allegation. The allegation is baseless
It has nothing to do with BJP.” “BJP does not believe in hurting anyone and if BJP is giving trouble, then it is your job to give proof of the same
BJP has nothing to do with the ED probe. ED has taken an independent action and after that, ED thought it was appropriate to arrest Sanjay Raut,” he said
If there is any corruption or irregularity in fundings, then ED has the right to inquire
If somebody is held by the ED, then the person who is accused should explain his role in relation to the allegation. He should show his evidence in this regard.” “I have nothing to do in this matter,” he added
