NEW DELHI: The Trinamool Congress (TMC) on Wednesday termed the Enforcement Directorate’s (ED) decision to freeze its bank deposits worth Rs 440 crore as “politically motivated”, asserting that all its financial transactions had been fully disclosed to the Election Commission of India (ECI) and the Income Tax Department.The statement came hours after the ED froze the party’s bank deposits under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) as part of an ongoing money laundering investigation into financial transactions linked to the party’s bank accounts.Responding to the action, the TMC said in a post on X that all donations and bank accounts had been transparently disclosed and were available in the public domain.”All funds held in the party’s bank accounts have been fully and transparently disclosed. The party has duly reported all donation transactions to the Election Commission of India (ECI) and the Income Tax Department. These disclosures are published annually on the ECI’s website and are available in the public domain.The details relating to electoral bonds are already available with the Government of India, as the bonds were issued by the State Bank of India (SBI) and subsequently submitted to the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India.”The party also accused the Centre of using investigative agencies against political opponents.”The Enforcement Directorate’s decision to freeze the party’s bank accounts is a politically motivated act. We strongly condemn this arbitrary and illegal action. The misuse of investigative agencies to target political opponents has become a hallmark of the BJP’s politics and represents a serious assault on democratic institutions and the principles of a level playing field.”The ED had earlier said it froze the party’s deposits following a money laundering probe into alleged financial transactions involving TMC-linked bank accounts. The agency is investigating claims that more than Rs 150 crore was routed through a network of aviation, travel and allied service companies and is examining whether funds used for chartered flights during the party’s 2024 Lok Sabha campaign were layered through multiple entities to conceal their source.The investigation stems from a complaint alleging that proceeds of a major cyber fraud were transferred into certain TMC bank accounts. As part of the probe, the ED has searched multiple locations in Kolkata and is examining transactions involving several companies and at least 18 bank accounts linked to the case.Get the latest India news and live updates.

India on Wednesday voiced deep concern over the escalating tensions in West Asia following fresh attacks on commercial shipping, urging all sides to exercise restraint and return to dialogue.In a statement, the ministry of external affairs (MEA) said the latest developments threatened regional stability and the free flow of global trade and energy supplies.”India is deeply concerned over the recent attacks and escalation of tensions in West Asia, which have followed fresh targeting of commercial shipping transiting international waterways in the region,” the MEA said.The ministry warned that “these developments risk undermining regional peace, security and stability.”Calling for de-escalation, the MEA said, “India calls upon all parties to exercise restraint, de-escalate tensions, and ensure protection of civilians as well as the uninterrupted flow of energy supplies and commerce.”It further urged the conflicting sides to pursue diplomacy, saying, “We urge the parties to return to dialogue and diplomacy to achieve a peaceful and lasting solution to the conflict.”India’s statement came after the United States launched large-scale military strikes on Iranian military targets, with US officials describing the operation as significantly more extensive than previous attacks. According to Axios, an American official said the operation was “four or five times bigger in scope and power” than strikes carried out ten days earlier.According to the US military, the strikes targeted Iranian military installations near the strategically important Strait of Hormuz after Tehran allegedly attacked three commercial vessels transiting the waterway.Iran responded by launching strikes targeting Bahrain and Kuwait, according to reports. Missile alerts were sounded in both countries, while Iran’s Revolutionary Guard acknowledged targeting US military installations in the two Gulf states.Earlier, US President Donald Trump said the ceasefire with Iran was effectively over. “As far as I’m concerned, it’s over,” Trump told reporters on the sidelines of the Nato summit in Turkey when asked whether the truce remained intact. He added, “It’s just a waste of time dealing with them.”Trump also said, “I’ll let our wonderful negotiators keep talking if they want, but I don’t see it. I don’t like these people.”Negotiations to reach a final deal had been due to start after Khamenei’s burial and focus on the toughest matters, including fully reopening the strait and rolling back Tehran’s disputed nuclear program. But the new attacks throw that into question, though neither country immediately signaled they’d walk away from the negotiating table.“The era of bullying and extortion is over,” Iran’s Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf wrote on X. “It leads nowhere.
