Cash-for-query: ED files money laundering case against Mahua Moitra

The Enforcement Directorate has reportedly filed a money laundering case against Trinamool Congress leader Mahua Moitra in cash-for-query case.

According to ANI, this is the second case which the ED so far has registered against Moitra. The first one is linked to the discrepancies in a foreign exchange contravention case.

The move comes days after the CBI filed an FIR against Moitra on the directions of anti-corruption ombudsman Lokpal.

Meanwhile, Moitra, who was expelled from the Lok Sabha, exuded confidence of winning Krishnanagar seat again.

Moitra feels that her victory would be a fitting response to the "ploy" to expel her from Lok Sabha last year and harass her through raids and summons by central agencies in a cash-for-query case.

She asserted that despite all efforts by the BJP to "sound the death knell" for constitutional democracy, India is too great a country to be destroyed by the fascists.
