Union Min Dharmendra Pradhan Speaks on West Bengal ED Attacks

Dharmendra Pradhan mentioned that some areas fail to follow the democratic mechanism where government agencies should not be obstructed from performing their duties.

This comes after a mob of 100-200 villagers brutally attacked ED officials as they were carrying out raids against Trinamool Congress Leaders, Shahjahan Sheikh and Shankar Adhya in the ration distribution scam.
