“Arvind Kejriwal will cooperate with ED if it issues ‘legal’ summon”, says AAP

On Thursday, AAP leaders declared that Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal will cooperate with the ED if it issues a “legal” summons to him, calling the alleged liquor scam in Delhi as a hoax.

The Aam Aadmi Party’s (AAP) national convenor, Arvinder Kejriwal, described the summons as “illegal” and “politically motivated” and declined to appear before the Enforcement Directorate on Wednesday in the Delhi excise policy case.

Jasmine Shah, AAP leader said that although the ED has been looking into the alleged liquor scam for the past two years but no evidence has been recovered yet.

“The so-called liquor scam investigation is fake. The inquiry in this case has been going on for the last two years and the ED has called more than 500 witnesses and conducted over 1,000 raids but so far, not even Rs 1 has been recovered as evidence,” Shah said.

He continued, “There is a plot to arrest Kejriwal and target the top leaders of the INDIA bloc to prevent them from campaigning ahead of the Lok Sabha elections.”

“The AAP and Arvind Kejriwal are ready to cooperate in any investigation on the condition that the summons is legal,” he said.  Highlighting an alleged pattern in the arrest of AAP leaders by the ED, Shah said the BJP leaders reveal the action to be taken even before the ED takes a step.

Kejriwal had earlier refused to appear before the ED on November 2 and December 21.
