“I will pray for my deceased father from ED office” emotional DK Shivakumar tells reporters in Delhi
He was speaking after his request to celebrate Ganesh Chaturti with family was rejected by ED
New Delhi: Senior Karnataka Congress leader and former Karnataka minister DK Shivakumar on Monday broke down in front of reporters before leaving to appear for ED questioning. Shivakumar expressed grief as the Enforcement Directorate probing alleged money laundering case rejected his request to celebrate Ganesh Chaturti with family in Bengaluru.
DKShi turned emotional and said "What makes me cry is that the BJP and ED officials did not allow me to offer prayers for my father. It is okay. I will offer my prayers from the ED office to my father and grandmother that their souls rest in peace," while adding that his family offers special prayers for his deceased father during Ganesh Chaturti.
After Karnataka High Court rejected his plea for interim protection from the ED summons DKShi appeared before ED in Delhi on Friday evening. He was also questioned by the ED on Saturday and was asked to appear before them on Monday as well for the third day of questioning.
