Farooq Abdullah's questioning by ED: Centre using probe agencies as weapons against political opponents, says Rahul Gandhi

NEW DELHI: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday accused the Centre of using investigative agencies as weapons against political opponents and claimed that many leaders, including him, were facing this assault.

Rahul, who is on a 3-day-tour of Kerala, was reacting to the questioning of National Conference chief Farooq Abdullah by the Enforcement Directorate.

The Enforcement Directorate on Monday questioned the former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister for over six hours in connection with a multi-crore scam in the Jammu and Kashmir Cricket Association, prompting accusations of "political vendetta" by the newly-formed People's Alliance comprising several mainstream parties.
