TMC slams ED after Rs 440.42 crore in party accounts frozen

The All India Trinamool Congress (AITC) has condemned the Enforcement Directorate's (ED) decision to freeze Rs 440.42 crore held in three of the party's HDFC Bank accounts, calling the move politically motivated and accusing the BJP of "misusing investigative agencies" to weaken the opposition.

In a statement posted on X, the party said the funds in question are fully disclosed, with donation transactions duly reported to the Election Commission of India (ECI) and the



Income Tax Department. These disclosures, the party noted, are published annually on the ECI's website and are freely accessible to the public.

"All funds held in the party's bank accounts have been fully and transparently disclosed. The party has duly reported all donation transactions to the Election Commission of India (ECI) and the Income Tax Department. These disclosures are published annually on the ECI's website and are available in the public domain," the statement read.
