Congress's Udit Raj Likens EC, CBI, I-T To ISI, Says 'We're Too Following Pak Model'

Congress leader Udit Raj says, "I am not making comparisons. Pakistan is a failed democracy, controlled by ISI. But, in a way, we can say that we too are following the Pakistan model. ED, CBI and Income Tax are playing the same role that is played by ISI. The ISI controls politics there (Pakistan) and ED controls it here. Due to the fear of ED, several leaders join BJP. Those who are involved in ED cases join BJP and then their cases are stopped. In ISI's case, they allow someone they want - to be in power, and someone they don't want - to lose power...I think that just like ISI influences politics there, ED/CBI/Income Tax influence India's politics."
