Although the Enforcement Directorate (ED) had previously asked that Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal appear before the financial investigation agency, Kejriwal chose not to appear in response to the ED’s seventh summons, which was sent on Monday, February 26th, regarding an alleged excise policy scam case.
“ED should wait for the court’s ruling rather than issuing summonses on a daily basis.” The AAP declared, “The Modi government should stop pressuring us; we won’t leave the INDIA alliance.”
As per the allegations made by the financial probe agency, Kejriwal deliberately disregarded the summons and kept giving “lame excuses.”
Kejriwal was the target of an earlier complaint from the ED for allegedly “disobeying” its summons. The court gave him a postponement of his court appearance until March 16th, citing physical constraints brought on by the ongoing Delhi Assembly Budget session.
Money laundering and corrupt practices during the formulation of the Delhi excise liquor policy have been accused by the CBI and ED, with liquor companies involved for increased profits. Because of this purported case, Manish Sisodia, Satyendar Jain, and Sanjay Singh, leaders of the AAP, are incarcerated.
