Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Tuesday moved the Delhi High Court challenging summonses by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in the excise policy case.
Kejriwal called these summonses “unconstitutional and arbitrary”. The matter will be heard on Wednesday by a division bench of the High Court.
The federal probe agency has issued a ninth summons to Kejriwal to appear for questioning on March 21 in the excise policy-linked money laundering case.
The AAP’s Delhi unit convener Gopal Rai, when asked about the summonses to Kejriwal, said, “It is beyond understanding when will the ED stop serving the political agenda of BJP. The ED served notices and the chief minister replied to them saying they were illegal. The ED went to court against him. When the matter is in court, what is the urgency of sending another notice,” he asked.
If the BJP wants to arrest Kejriwal, they do not need summons, Rai said, adding, “They can arrest him anytime.” “If you believe in the Constitution and law, wait for the court’s decision. We are also waiting. The court will hear the matter on April 1,” the AAP leader said.
