ED has sent another summons to Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal. This is the fourth summons issued by ED. According to ANI, ED has called Kejriwal for questioning in the liquor scam. ED has called Arvind Kejriwal for questioning on January 18.
Keriwal did not appear on 3 summons of ED
Earlier, he was called for questioning on January 3 and November 2 and December 21 last year. However, Kejriwal did not appear before the investigating agency all three times. Kejriwal alleged that the central government wants to arrest him to stop him from campaigning in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections.He also said, my lawyers told me that the ED summons are illegal. BJP wants to arrest me to stop me from campaigning in the Lok Sabha elections.
Conspiracy to arrest Kejriwal
AAP leader Jasmine Shah says that the investigation into the liquor scam has been going on for the last two years, but till now the ED has not recovered anything as evidence. Therefore this liquor scam investigation is fake. The same ED has interrogated more than 500 witnesses and conducted more than 1,000 raids, but nothing has been recovered so far.They also said it was a conspiracy to arrest Kejriwal before the Lok Sabha elections to target top leaders of the 'India' alliance of opposition parties and prevent him from campaigning.
CM Arvind Kejriwal is running away from investigation
On the other hand, on ED's summon to Arvind Kejriwal, BJP leader Bansuri Swaraj says that he is running away from the investigation, if ED has sent the summons then he should join the investigation, if you are honest then you should join the investigation. Laws apply equally to everyone.
