Centre misusing agencies for pol gains: Gehlot

New Delhi, Oct 30: Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot accused the BJP-led Centre on Monday of misusing probe agencies for political gains and asserted that the tactic would boomerang on the saffron party as people have now become aware of it.
The veteran Congress leader’s remarks after the party’s Central Election Committee (CEC) meeting at the AICC headquarters here came while talking to reporters on a day his son, Vaibhav Gehlot, appeared before the Enforcement Directorate (ED) for questioning in a foreign exchange violation case. The federal agency issued a summons to Vaibhav Gehlot (43) last week, asking him to appear before the investigating officer of the case at its headquarters on A P J Abdul Kalam Road here under the provisions of the Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA).
“There is nothing in the case. It is a 12-year-old matter with nothing in it. They also raided the premises of the Rajasthan Congress chief, did not interrogate him, but stayed put at his place. There is a reaction to all this in Rajasthan and this will boomerang on them,” Gehlot told reporters. (PTI)
