CPI(M) Protests Delhi ED Raids on Former Kerala Leader Vijayan's Residence

CPI(M) leaders, including M A Baby, protested in Delhi against ED raids at Pinarayi Vijayan's residence. The party claims political motivations and accuses the BJP of using central agencies against opponents. Detained leaders included Brinda Karat and others, as the protest ended with police intervention.

Leaders of the Communist Party of India (Marxist), headed by general secretary M A Baby, were detained by police during a protest outside the Enforcement Directorate's headquarters in Delhi. They were demonstrating against recent raids at the residence of former Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan.

The protest turned tense when police allegedly used force to disperse the protesters, leading to the detention of several senior leaders. Baby criticized the raids as politically motivated, asserting that Vijayan was being unfairly targeted. The leaders plan nationwide protests to decry this perceived misuse of central agencies for political purposes.
