Prevention of Money Laundering Act - A law that was brought in to hack illegal drug trafficking, money laundering & to put a stop to legitimising Black Money has gradually moved on from being a law to a political tool in the hands of the ruling government…be it Congress who politisized it - to BJP that weaponised it. 

A brilliant article in Scroll - https://scroll.in/article/1027571/how-the-modi-government-has-weaponised-the-ed-to-go-after-indias-opposition  - highlights how in the ED has become a force to reckon with & a weapon to intimidate the opposition by the party in power - be in Congress or the BJP. 

Do watch the episode to understand how powerful ED has become after the 2019 amendment & to understand if the PMLA stands constitutionally correct ?
