Arvind Kejriwal Questions Timing Of ED Summons Before Elections

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal questioned the Enforcement Directorate’s (ED) intent on sending him summons for the fourth time. The ED issued summons to him in connection with the Delhi Excise Policy case.

The Delhi CM asked why the notice had been sent to him just two months before the elections. The ED had issued summons to Kejriwal for the fourth time in the money laundering probe related to irregularities in the Delhi excise policy 2021-22 case.

The federal agency asked him to join the investigation on January 18. “This is illegal and invalid in the eyes of the law. Whenever such notices have been sent, they have been quashed by the courts. I wrote to ED many times, but they have not given any response.

These notices are being sent as part of a political conspiracy. This investigation has been going on for 2 years, and they have not found anything yet,” the Delhi CM said. “The courts have asked them many times whether anything got recovered from anywhere.

How much money did they recover? People are being beaten, and false statements are being made. Why was the notice sent to me two months before the elections? They wanted me to stop campaigning for the Lok Sabha elections. The aim of all this is to stop Kejriwal by any means before the elections,” he added.
