Shant Raho, Tumhare ED Na Aa Jaye: Union Minister Meenakshi Lekhi Sparks Controversy – Check Reaction

New Delhi: Union Minister Meenakshi Lekhi on Thursday warned the Opposition to maintain silence during a discussion on the Delhi services bill in the Lok Sabha else the “Enforcement Directorate (ED) may arrive at your homes“.

“…Ek minute, ek minute. Shaant raho, tumhare ghar ED na aa jaaye,” (One minute. Keep quiet or else the ED may arrive at your home) Lekhi said in response to an Opposition member who interrupted her while she was speaking in the House.

Her comment didn’t go down well with the opposition leaders as many expressed their disbelief with her statement in the parliament. Let’s check reactions from some prominent leaders.
