Let us tell you that the investigating agency had sent summons to the TMC MP on Wednesday (November 8). Meanwhile, TMC National Secretary Abhishek Banerjee said while talking to the media that I have nothing to hide. They (ED) can call me whenever they want. All things are in front of the people that they (BJP) are not able to fight us. That’s why they are using investigating agencies. He said that if you have any evidence against me then present it before the court.
