ED officials said that CM Kejriwal was to leave for Vipassana meditation session on Tuesday, but he could not do so because he had to attend the meeting of Alliance ‘India’. He told that he left on Wednesday afternoon for the pre-scheduled meditation session.
Aam Aadmi Party had said this
On the summons issued by the ED, the Aam Aadmi Party had said on Tuesday that the party’s lawyers are studying the ED notice and legally appropriate steps will be taken. Regarding going on Vipassana, AAP said that CM Kejriwal’s Vipassana session was pre-planned and this information was public.
