NEW DELHI: Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee chief D K Shivakumar, who was questioned by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Friday, has agreed to submit the documents that were sought from him in connection with a probe related to their financial contribution to Young India Pvt Ltd.
“The questioning for today is over. I have agreed to submit the documents that have been sought from me”, he said. Earlier in the day, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) had summoned Shivakumar and his MP brother D K Suresh to the national capital. The Congress leader had asked for a pass as he wanted to be present during the Bharat Jodo Yatra, but his request was denied.
“I have been summoned by ED. I had requested them to call both me and my brother D K Suresh after October 23. But the official concerned directed us to present before him nonetheless. So, we left the Bharat Jodo Yatra in the middle and arrived here,” he said.
Earlier, Shivakumar had slammed the ED and termed the summons as a political harassment. “I requested the Enforcement Directorate to postpone their summons in view of the Bharat Jodo Yatra. Their rejection is a clear sign that the timing of their summons is political harassment. They don’t like my participation in the BharathAikyataYatre,” tweeted Shivakumar. (ANI)
