X / Twitter Pulse
TMC cyber warriors are flooding timelines with #AgencyTerror, while BJP supporters are sharing documents alleging money laundering. Neutral observers are concerned about the precedent of raiding political consultants.
ED raiding I-PAC is a new low. They are political consultants, not politicians! This is clearly to steal TMC's data before 2026. #AgencyMisuse
If you have nothing to hide, why panic? Money trail leads to I-PAC shell companies. Corruption must be rooted out, no matter who is involved. #CoalScam
Scary precedent. If election strategists aren't safe, democracy isn't safe. Are we becoming a surveillance state?
