#Isaac and ED
Former Kerala Finance Minister Thomas Isaac's decision not to appear before the Enforcement Directorate (ED) warrants careful consideration.
His refusal raises questions about accountability and transparency. While Isaac's actions may be seen as a protest against perceived overreach by central agencies, they could also be interpreted as an attempt to evade scrutiny. As a public official, Isaac has a responsibility to cooperate with legitimate inquiries and uphold the rule of law, regardless of political affiliations or perceptions of bias. By declining to appear before the ED, he risks undermining public trust in the integrity of governmental institutions.
The impasse between Isaac and the ED underscores deeper tensions within India's federal structure and the delicate balance between state and central authority. While it is essential to safeguard states' rights and prevent the misuse of investigative powers, it is equally vital to ensure accountability and uphold the principles of transparency and justice.
