Delhi Excise Policy: Kejriwal Not To Appear Before ED, Will Go To MP For Poll Campaigning

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal will not appear before the ED for questioning and will visit Madhya Pradesh for poll campaigning, sources said on Thursday.

A party source stated, “He will be going to Madhya Pradesh’s Singrauli where he will take part in a roadshow along with Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann. He will leave for Madhya Pradesh in a while.”

The ED summoned Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal for questioning in a money laundering case linked to the alleged excise policy scam. He was supposed to depose at the probe agency’s Delhi office at 11 am.

Kejriwal wrote to the ED, demanding that the probe agency withdraw its notice, summoning him for questioning, claiming that it was “illegal and politically motivated”.

The Delhi Chief Minister’s Office stated that in reply to the ED notice, Kejriwal has termed it as “illegal & politically motivated” and aimed at preventing him from campaigning in the poll-bound states.

Also, Kejriwal alleged that the notice was sent to him at the behest of the BJP.
