Punjab veteran politician Kuldeep Dhaliwal has alleged that the Enforcement Directorate is being used as a political tool by the BJP to tarnish opposition leaders, according to a report in Amar Ujala.
Punjab veteran politician Kuldeep Dhaliwal has accused the Enforcement Directorate (ED) of functioning as a political wing of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) to defame opposition leaders. The claim was made in a statement reported by the Hindi daily Amar Ujala.
The ED is a central investigative agency that probes financial crimes and money laundering. Dhaliwal alleges that the agency is being directed to target political opponents of the BJP.
Dhaliwal, a former minister and long‑time member of the Punjab Legislative Assembly, has been a vocal critic of the BJP’s policies. He said the allegations are part of a broader strategy to undermine opposition credibility.
No response has been issued by the ED or the BJP to date, and the claim remains unverified by independent sources.
