BJP chief Nitin Nabin defended the January raids on the Indian Political Action Committee (I-PAC), which is affiliated with the Trinamool Congress party, claiming the firm was involved in 'malpractice.' The Enforcement Directorate (ED) conducted these raids as part of a money laundering investigation, leading to the arrest of I-PAC Director Vinesh Chandel on April 13, 2026, under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), 2002. Nabin emphasized that any party found engaging in malpractice would face consequences, whether they are part of the government or the business sector. He hinted at the possibility of I-PAC conducting activities beyond political strategy, stating that the ED's findings would clarify the situation. The raids have been perceived by the Trinamool Congress as a politically motivated attack, escalating tensions between the two parties.
