Rana Ayyub 'misused' charity fund, says ED; 'Won't be silenced' journo retorts
The Enforcement Directorate has filed a charge sheet against journalist Rana Ayyub in a money laundering case. The charge sheet says Ayyub raised fundraiser charity campaigns and then utilised the funds of ₹2.69 crore for herself. The probe agency also accused the journalist of contravening the foreign contribution law. A fierce critic of the ruling government, Rana Ayyub has hit back at the charges with a lengthy post on Twitter. Calling the ED's action against her an 'attack on the free press', the journalist said 'my pen can never be silenced'.
