Shiv Sena MP Priyanka Chaturvedi on Monday slammed the Centre and said the ED is the BJP's "extortionist department". This comes after the ED summoned Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut in connection with the Pravin Raut and Patra Chawl land scam case. 

Sanjay Raut has been actively voicing his disapproval of the rebel MLAs who fled to Guwahati after going incommunicado on June 21. 

Priyanka Chaturvedi also questioned the timing of the old case being brought up during the ongoing political crisis in Maharashtra. She further asked what happened to the ED cases against the TMC leaders who have now joined the BJP.
