The Opposition on Friday accused the BJP of receiving crores in donation from a company being probed by the ED for allegedly buying properties from Iqbal Mirchi, an accused in the 1993 Mumbai bomb blasts, and asked whether or not it was a case of “treason”.

Congress’s chief spokesperson Randeep Surjewala cited a media report which claimed that the BJP took a large donation from a firm being probed by the Enforcement Directorate for carrying out transactions with and buying properties from the late Mirchi.

The attack on the BJP came after news portal The Wire reported that it had received large donation from a company being probed by the ED for facilitating “terror funding”, citing the ruling party’s filings with the Election Commission.

The report said the company, which was involved in transactions with and buying properties from the late Iqbal Memon, alias Iqbal Mirchi, gave Rs 10 crore to the BJP in 2014-15. Mirchi was a close aide of Dawood Ibrahim.

“BJP’s ‘donation saga’ gets murkier Electoral Bond Scam to donations from accused of ‘terror funding’! Why did BJP receive Crores in donation from a Company accused of buying properties of Iqbal Mirchi, a Dawood Ibrahim aide? Is this not ‘treason’ Mr Amit Shah?” Surjewala asked in a tweet. The Congress also demanded an answer on the issue from Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah.

“As it turns out the ‘Modi Bond of Corruption’ extends to terror funding companies as well. Companies associated with Iqbal Mirchi have donated crore of rupees to the BJP. PM Modi and Amit Shah must answer on these treasonous acts,” the party said.
