Union Finance Minister
Nirmala Sitharaman on Sunday hit out at the Left government in Kerala and said the move for a judicial inquiry against the Enforcement Directorate (ED), which has been probing the gold smuggling case, was an attempt to derail the probe.
Sitharaman, who is here for electioneering, told reporters that those who are afraid of facing the law are unleashing the state police force against the central agencies.
"If you are clean, prove it.If you are not, then I am sorry, this is absolutely wrong...The person who unleashes his own investigative or state police officers is the one who is frightened of facing the law."
