CPI-M cites central agencies' political targeting
CPI-M leaders accused central agencies of targeting them for political reasons, with K.V. Abdul Khader calling the raids a Congress and BJP move and R. Bindu saying these agencies are just tools for pressure now.
The party isn't backing down: they said they would intensify protests and are urging supporters to gear up for what they describe as a fight against "Sangh Parivar-driven agendas."
