Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said Saturday that the Enforcement Directorate (ED), India's main government investigation agency, is "completely independent" in its approach and work. While refuting the allegations that it is being used by the government for political purposes, she said ED pursues predicate offenses with substantial proof. Sitharaman made these claims in Washington DC during her official visit to the United States.
