News India Live, Digital Desk: Words like ‘peace’ and ‘silence’ are rarely heard these days in Bengal politics. The latest case is related to the organization that prepares strategies for Mamata government. I-PAC and central agency ED Due to the tussle between (Enforcement Directorate). As soon as ED teams started raiding the locations linked to I-Pac, the state government also moved to Delhi without any delay and filed a ‘caveat’ in the Supreme Court.
What is this caveat?
If we understand the legal language in simple words, a caveat is a kind of prior information. This step of the Bengal government says that “if any petition comes in this matter (I-PACK raid) or any unilateral decision is going to be given, then our point should be heard first.” Often this happens when one party fears that an order may be passed without hearing them which would increase their problems.
Why was the raid conducted at all?
I-PAC is considered to be one of the largest election strategy companies in India. It played a big role in TMC’s victory in Bengal. Allegations of money transactions and financial irregularities (Money Laundering) are being said to be the reason behind this action of ED. But the Bengal government argues that this is just misuse of central agencies to create obstruction in the functioning.
Why has tension increased?
As we move ahead towards 2026, the fight between the investigating agencies and the states seems to be getting stronger. The action on I-PAC locations is not just a raid, it is being seen as a direct attack on the nervous system of Trinamool Congress. This is the reason why the state government itself has come forward and made arrangements for its security in the Supreme Court.
A strong political message…
One thing is clear from the agility of Mamta government that now they are ready to attack instead of defending. By first knocking on the door of the Supreme Court, he has made it clear that he knows how to fight the misuse of any big agency. On the other hand, ED says that they are working only on the basis of facts and no speculations should be made till the investigation is completed.
What’s going to happen next?
After the caveat being filed in the Supreme Court, the ball is now in the court of the country’s biggest court. Now if anyone associated with ED or I-PAC goes to the Supreme Court, the state government will be present there as a party. This ‘legal chess’ of Delhi and Kolkata is going to take an even more interesting turn in the coming days.
