Kejriwal Defies ED Summons Again, Cites Poll Motive, Offers Written Reply
AAP leader calls notice "illegal", claims attempt to derail election campaign
AAP sources said that Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Wednesday disregarded the ED's third summons in the Delhi excise policy case and instead sent a written response denouncing the notice as unlawful.
While claiming that Kejriwal was prepared to assist the agency, the Aam Aadmi Party said that the summons was sent with the goal of apprehending him.
"Why was the notice sent so close to the election season? The party claimed that the notice is an attempt to prevent Kejriwal from participating in election campaigns.
Kejriwal was called in by the Enforcement Directorate on Wednesday to be questioned about a money laundering case related to excise policies.
Kejriwal, who is also the convener of the AAP, received three ED notices in a row after he turned down two previous summonses from the federal agency for November 2 and December 21.
