Mumbai: Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut said on Monday that his wife Varsha was summoned by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) for questioning in the PMC bank money laundering case.
“It is cowardice to target women at home. We are not afraid of anyone and will react accordingly. The ED needed some papers and we have submitted them on time.
The Shiv Sena leader listed the names of other state leaders, including NCP chief Sharad Pawar, who were sent notices by the agency.
“In the last one year, Sharad Pawar, Eknath Khadse, and Pratap Sarnaik received a notice and now all of you are discussing my name. All these people are important to form government in Maharashtra. These are pieces of paper, nothing else,” he said.
