The political and legal standoff in West Bengal has escalated as Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee launches strong criticism against the Enforcement Directorate (ED). The dispute revolves around the so-called “green files” seized during recent ED operations, leading to a multi-party courtroom battle at the Calcutta High Court involving the TMC, the ED, and IPAC. Mamata Banerjee has alleged that the central agency acted with political intent, claiming that the documents belonged to her party and were taken forcibly. She has also urged for large-scale protests, portraying the investigation as a politically driven move ahead of the forthcoming elections. At the same time, the BJP has questioned her motives, while the Congress has raised concerns about the management of sensitive documents during an ongoing probe.
