The Congress has maintained there is no money laundering involved and has called the summons a politically motivated move. Reacting to police action against Congress workers, Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehot said the "situation is not good in the country". He alleged that Congress leaders were not allowed to go to their own party office. Chidambaram accused the Central government of misusing the laws.
"ED has not followed the rules. When they were asked about an FIR in the matter, they had no answer," said Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel accusing the BJP of targeting opposition leaders.
