EXCLUSIVE | The Bhartiya Janta Party took a large donation from a company that is now being probed by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) for facilitating “terror funding,” financial declarations by the BJP itself reveal. | @rohini_sgh writes.

@rohini_sgh RKW Developers Ltd, a company at the heart of a probe by the ED for carrying out transactions with and buying properties from the late Iqbal Memon alias Iqbal Mirchi – an accused in the 1993 Mumbai bomb blasts – gave money to the ruling party.

thewire.in/politics/bjp-d…
@rohini_sgh According to the BJP’s filings with the Election Commission, in 2014-15, RKW, gave Rs 10 crore to the party.

No individual company donating on its own has given the party more than what RKW gave it.

thewire.in/politics/bjp-d…
@rohini_sgh That's not all.

A company accused by the ED of buying Mirchi’s properties, Sunblink Real Estate, is linked, via a common directorship, to another company that also made a Rs 2 crore donation to the BJP.

thewire.in/politics/bjp-d…
@rohini_sgh A report in the Times of India had quoted Union Home minister @AmitShah as saying the dealings of the firms with Mirchi was “nothing short of treason.”

For some reason, the articles quoting Shah are no longer available on the TOI website.

As the Right Wing celebrates #94YearsofRSS, here's a quick look into what the organisation really stands for.

1. Throughout India's freedom struggle, the RSS was subservient to the British, with its leadership prohibiting participation in mass movements.
thewire.in/history/rss-hi…
According to the biography of Hedgewar, the founder of the RSS, when Gandhi launched the Salt Satyagraha in 1930, he “sent information everywhere that the Sangh will not participate in the Satyagraha.'
A year-and-a-half after the Quit India movement, the Bombay govt of the British Raj noted with satisfaction, that “the Sangh has scrupulously kept itself within the law, and in particular, has refrained from taking part in the disturbances that broke out in August 1942.”

Important day for #PChidambaram as well as CBI & ED in the #INXMediaCase: Kapil Sibal mentions before Justice R Banumathi that the new petition against CBI's remand hasn't been listed so far.
Justice Banumathi says that necessary orders could not be obtained from the #CJI over the weekend. Registry has been asked against to do the needful.
SG Tushar Mehta says he has no objections if #PChidambaram's legal team wants to argue against the custody order too.
A lot is at stake for #PChidambaram as well as for the #CBI and the #EnforcementDirectorate when the #SupremeCourt takes up the former union finance minister’s petitions today. Here's why and how:
