. NEW DELHI: Several Trinamool Congress (TMC) leaders, including MPs Mahua Moitra and Derek O’Brien, were detained by Delhi police on Friday while protesting outside Union home minister Amit Shah’s residence and office. The protest was staged against the Enforcement Directorate (ED) raids conducted at the office of the political consultancy firm I-PAC in Kolkata on Thursday. BJP Targets Mamata Banerjee Over ED Raid At I-PAC, Alleges Evidence Tampering TMC MPs gathered with placards reading “Bengal rejects Modi-Shah’s dirty politics”, highlighting their opposition to the ED action, which they termed politically motivated and aimed at intimidating the party ahead of the West Bengal Assembly elections.Speaking to the media during the protest, Mahua Moitra said, “Yesterday, entire India, Bengal witnessed how ED was misused by the Home Ministry. The ED was sent to steal our party’s political, strategic information. Mamata Banerjee is a lioness, she protected our party’s properties.”TMC MP Kirti Azad added, “They are acting undemocratically; even the raid was illegal. They loot and accuse us of scams. They took away our strategy and candidate lists. BJP’s internal survey shows they won’t get more than 25 seats. But Mamata Banerjee will secure a massive mandate as CM and go on to become the Prime Minister.”The protest comes ahead of a planned march in Delhi led by West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee. Banerjee will lead the march from Jadavpur 8B Bus Stand to Hazra More at 2 pm to protest the ED raids, news agency PTI reported.The raids at I-PAC offices targeted two locations in Kolkata on Thursday. Apart from providing political consultancy to TMC, I-PAC manages the party’s IT and media operations, making the action sensitive for the party’s electoral preparations. Banerjee visited the I-PAC premises during the ongoing search, accusing the central agency of attempting to seize internal documents, hard disks, and digital data linked to the party’s election strategy.The TMC has described the ED action as politically motivated harassment, intensifying the standoff between the ruling party in West Bengal and the Union government ahead of the assembly elections.ED raids I-PAC-linked locations; Mamata alleges political vendettaOn Thursday, ED conducted searches at multiple locations, including the residence of I-PAC chief Pratik Jain.Reacting sharply to the raids, CM Banerjee accused the Centre of pursuing a political vendetta and misusing central agencies ahead of elections. She alleged that party documents, hard disks and sensitive data were being seized under the guise of an investigation.Questioning the role of the ED and Union Home Minister Amit Shah, Banerjee said, “Is it the duty of the ED, Amit Shah to collect the party’s hard disk, candidate list?… The nasty, naughty Home Minister who cannot protect the country and is taking away all my party documents. What will be the result if I raid the BJP party office?”She also linked the agency action to the ongoing Special Intensive Revision (SIR) exercise in West Bengal, alleging that voter names were being deleted ahead of the polls. “On one side, they are deleting the names of all the voters by carrying out the SIR in West Bengal…Because of the elections, they are collecting all the information about my party,” she said. Banerjee further dared the BJP to fight the TMC politically if it wanted to win Bengal.Banerjee visited I-PAC’s Salt Lake office during the searches, asserting that the Trinamool Congress is a registered political party that pays income tax and cannot be “bulldozed using money and muscle power”.The BJP hit back at the chief minister, accusing her of interfering in a central agency probe. Leader of the Opposition in the West Bengal Assembly Suvendu Adhikari termed Banerjee’s visit to Pratik Jain’s residence during the ED raid as “unconstitutional” and alleged it amounted to direct interference in the investigation.Adhikari further said the ED should take action against the chief minister, claiming her presence along with that of the Kolkata police commissioner, was improper while the search was underway.Officials said the ED raids were conducted at 15 locations in connection with a fake government job scam, allegedly run by an organised gang that duped people by promising employment.

The BJP has strongly criticized West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee following chaos at Salt Lake Stadium during Lionel Messi’s visit. Leaders accused the state government of gross mismanagement, demanding accountability and punishment for those responsible. The incident saw fans protesting, leading to vandalism and a police baton charge, with many ticket holders unable to see the football star. Photo credit: IANS BJP on Sunday stepped up its attack on West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee over the chaos and vandalism at Kolkata’s Salt Lake Stadium following Argentine football star Lionel Messi’s appearance, accusing the state government of gross mismanagement and demanding accountability.Speaking to IANS, BJP leader Dilip Ghosh said chief minister Mamata Banerjee must take responsibility for the incident, calling it ‘deeply shameful’ for West Bengal. “Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee should take responsibility; merely apologising will not be enough. Those who came there after spending money should be compensated. Everyone responsible must be punished, and legal action should be taken whether it is the police, officials, or the ministers who were present on the dais. All of them should face legal proceedings,” he said.The fresh remark followed BJP leader of the opposition Suvendu Adhikari’s criticism of the state government, in which he accused it of mismanagement and made three demands, including Banerjee’s resignation. In a post on X, Adhikari wrote, “Shame on you, Mamata Banerjee! The ‘Khela Hobe’ Circus turns into a TMC loot-fest at Yuva Bharati! What a pathetic spectacle in Kolkata today!”He alleged that while senior Trinamool Congress leaders and their associates surrounded Messi, ordinary fans were left disappointed. “While Arup Biswas, Sujit Bose, and their bootlicking entourage of 100+ VIP vultures swarmed Messi like leeches on a bloodbath, the real fans? Stuck in galleries, staring at a measly 5–7 minutes on a giant screen! No direct view, just betrayal,” he said.Adhikari also accused organisers and the administration of exploiting spectators. “Water bottles banned inside, forcing desperate fans to cough up ₹200 for a ₹20 bottle? Classic TMC extortion racket!” he wrote, calling the episode a “criminal assault on West Bengal’s pride”.Meanwhile, BJP MP and spokesperson Sudhanshu Trivedi said at a press conference that the incident had “ashamed every Indian”. Referring to Banerjee’s post expressing distress, he said, “It is West Bengal which is deeply devastated under your rule… This shows the tragic situation the state has reached.”What led to the chaos at Salt Lake StadiumBJP leaders’ remarks came after chaos erupted at the stadium when thousands of fans protested after failing to get a clear view of Messi during the much-publicised event. Messi, accompanied by Luis Suárez and Rodrigo De Paul, arrived around 11.30 am but remained tightly cordoned off by security and VIPs. His brief appearance and early exit sparked anger, leading to slogan-shouting, vandalism and a police baton charge. What was scheduled to be a nearly two-hour programme was cut to under 30 minutes, with many ticket-holders, including those who paid premium prices, complaining they could not see Messi at all. The presence of politicians and dignitaries occupying key areas further limited visibility, adding to the sense of exclusion among fans.Outside the stadium, disgruntled supporters told the media that Messi had remained on the field only briefly before being escorted away for safety reasons. The unrest contrasted with the earlier mood in the city, where Messi had virtually unveiled a 70-foot iron statue of himself holding the FIFA World Cup trophy at the Sree Bhumi Sporting Club. a moment that drew widespread admiration.About the AuthorTOI News DeskThe TOI News Desk comprises a dedicated and tireless team of journalists who operate around the clock to deliver the most current and comprehensive news and updates to the readers of The Times of India worldwide.

Omar Abdullah SRINAGAR/JAMMU: J&K CM Omar Abdullah presented on Friday the National Conference (NC) govt’s second budget, peppered with references to challenges arising out of last year’s Pahalgam attack, Operation Sindoor and devastating floods.Presenting the Rs 1.27-lakh crore budget for 2026-27 as he also handles finance, Omar proposed two dedicated emergency hospitals and bullet-proof ambulances in frontier areas prone to shelling, cross-border attacks and natural disasters. One hospital will come up in Uri and the other in Poonch. Both had borne the brunt of Pakistani shelling during Operation Sindoor.“…In J&K, just as our economy was consolidating with renewed vigour, the barbaric terrorist attack at Pahalgam and its aftermath shocked us. The devastating floods in Aug-Sept severely battered Jammu region. All sectors, including tourism, handicrafts and agriculture, are badly affected. There is a substantial loss of jobs and business, leading to financial stress on families,” Omar said.The CM announced full fee waivers for students of economically weaker families from Class 9 to college, free LPG cylinders for families under Antyodaya Anna Yojana (AAY), monthly sponsorships for orphans, scholarships for tribal students, and free govt transport for those with disabilities.Plans were also unveiled to increase seats in medical colleges, while Rs 180 crore was allocated for modernisation of Amarnath Yatra infrastructure.Omar’s rivals were not impressed. “Central funds have effectively been diverted towards party (NC) legislators. There is nothing for common people,” said leader of opposition Sunil Sharma of BJP. PDP MLA Waheed Parra dismissed the budget as “mere repackaging of centrally sponsored schemes”.
