Subrata challenges media to come up with evidence on allegations against Imran

Indian authorities have reportedly began an inquiry into allegations being made against Trinamool MP Ahmed Hassan Imran. In a report ran on Friday, Kolkata’s ‘Ananda Bazar Patrika’ claimed that Imran had sent a large amount of funds to a political party in Bangladesh between 2012 and 2013. Indian Home Minister Rajnath Singh said that a central intelligence agency team is probing the allegations. ‘The investigation has started. Law will take its own course. We will not interfere with it,’ Singh said. However, Rajnath Singh did not elaborate on the matter and said it was ‘sensitive’. On the other hand, Trinamool Congress rubbished all the allegations against Imran as ‘motivated propoganda’ and defended him as a Muslim minority leader. Trinamool leader Subrata Mukerjee said that the allegations against Imran were ‘untrue’. He challenged the media to come up with evidence backing their claims or else they will move to the court. Ahmed Hassan Imran was nominated to Rajya Sabha by West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee in the national elections, according to bdnews24.com.
