ED issues fifth summons to Kejriwal for questioning
It is noteworthy that on Wednesday, ED had issued a new and fifth summons to Kejriwal for questioning in the money laundering case related to Delhi Excise Policy. ED had called Kejriwal for questioning on Friday, but the Delhi Chief Minister once again did not appear. It is known that ED had called Arvind Kejriwal for questioning on November 2, December 21 last year and January 3 and January 18 this year, but the Delhi CM did not appear.
BJP asked for resignation from Kejriwal
The state unit of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in Delhi staged a massive protest accusing the Arvind Kejriwal-led Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government of corruption and demanding the resignation of the CM. BJP state president Virendra Sachdeva had recently said that ‘Kejriwal government has become synonymous with corruption. Every day some scam of the government is being exposed in front of the people. He had alleged that a scam had taken place in Delhi Jal Board (DJB) under the patronage of Kejriwal government.
what is the matter
In fact, the Delhi government’s excise policy for 2021-22 regarding granting licenses to liquor traders benefited some liquor traders, who had allegedly paid bribes for it. However, Aam Aadmi Party has repeatedly denied the allegations. Later this policy was withdrawn and Delhi Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena recommended the investigation of the case by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI). After this the ED had registered a case under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA).
