Delhi excise case | Kejriwal skips ED summons
The HinduDelhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has written to the Enforcement Directorate that the summons sent to him was unlawful and politically motivated, according to AAP sources. Mr. Kejriwal skipped the ED summons on December 21 for questioning in connection with the Delhi excise case, as he left Delhi on December 20 for a 10-day Vipassana meditation in Punjab, according to sources. “The timing of your summons leaves much to desire and strengthens my belief that the summons being sent to me are not based upon any objective or rational yardstick but for extraneous considerations at the behest of political rivals who wish to silence the voice of opposition to the ruling dispensation at the Centre to create sensational news in the final few months leading up to the Parliamentary elections in early to mid 2024,” Mr. Kejriwal said in a letter dated December 20. On December 18, the ED summoned Mr. Kejriwal, to record his statement in connection with the Delhi excise policy case on December 21.
