Political slugfest has started surfacing in West Bengal over the Enforcement Directorate (ED)'s fresh summons on Sunday evening to Trinamool Congress' national general secretary and the party's Lok Sabha member Abhishek Banerjee asking the latter to be present for questioning at the agency's office on September 13 in connection with the multi-crore cash-for-school job case in the state.

Echoing Banerjee, Trinamool Congress' Rajya Sabha member Santanu Sen said the ED has deliberately chosen September 13 as the date for summoning, since on that day there will be the first meeting of the coordination committee of the INDIA bloc in Delhi, at which Banerjee is likely to be present.
