FollowIn the wake of the Enforcement Directorate's (ED) searches at Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MP Sanjay Singh's residence in Delhi, the party has claimed that these actions are a response to Singh's persistent questioning of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and industrialist Gautam Adani. The ED is conducting these searches in connection with a money laundering case linked to the alleged Delhi excise policy scam.
