Central investigating agencies acting like Nazis: Shiv Sena

The Shiv Sena, ruling party in Maharashtra, has equated India’s central investigating agencies with German dictator Adolf Hitler’s Nazi Party.

The criticism came two days after the Enforcement Directorate (ED) arrested Maharashtra minister and senior Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leader Nawab Malik on multiple charges, including money laundering and terror funding.

Sena made the observation in an editorial in its mouthpiece Saamana on Friday.

“It was god’s wish that the BJP should not come to power in Maharsahtra. In 2024, it seems to be Lord Ram’s wish that Modi, Shah and their Nazi army should not come back to power… The deception used to frame one cabinet minister was a murder of democracy,” read the Saamana editorial.

“Nawab Malik emerged out of the ED office with a smile on his face, without any fear, and gave a slogan by waving his fist [that] he will not bow down before lies, [that he] will keep fighting and emerge victorious. The defeat of Hitlers’s Nazi army is inevitable,” it stated.

It went on to say: “The central agencies are acting like slaves and are [being] used to decimate political opponents… What kind of politics is this?” the editorial questioned. “It is surprising that the current rulers do not bear in mind that the way the Nazi demon rose, it ended as well. The central agencies are working like Nazi forces now…”

Meanwhile, a special court in Maharashtra observed that prima facie, there are reasonable grounds to believe that allegations against Nawab Malik are “well-founded.”

The ED case is based on an FIR filed recently by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) against Ibrahim, a fugitive gangster, and others. The NIA had filed its criminal complaint under sections of the draconian Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA).
