Opposition leaders' reaction to ED's action.

Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut was arrested on Sunday by Enforcement Directorate after hours of the raids. Some of the Opposition leaders questioned the action taken by the ED in Raut’s case.

Shiv Sena leader and Rajya Sabha MP Priyanka Chaturvedi tweeted targetting ED

Answer to my parliamentary question regarding ED says it all:

27 times increase in cases filed however look at the conviction rate: of 0.5%

This is a political witch-hunt targeting the opposition, not an attempt to bring transparency in financial dealing. pic.twitter.com/EHZLry2fmN

ED’s powers and reach of investigation,endorsed by a clearly flawed Supreme Court judgement, will be misused to topple elected governments and destroy our federal structure

National Spokesperson of Indian National Congress, Dr Shama Mohamed said in a tweet,

#SanjayRaut is arrested by ED. When is ED going to arrest @himantabiswa in Sharda Scam or Narayan Rane for multiple corruption allegations? ED has forgotten that its a National agency & not a full time thug working overtime for BJP whose only job is to harass opposition leaders!
