AAP Minister Atishi Claims, CM Arvind Kejriwal Is Actually Summoned By BJP Not ED

Delhi Minister Atishi says, "When Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal received the first summon then we had said that it was actually a summon by the BJP. Today, this has been proved by BJP spokesperson Gaurav Bhatia in a press conference. He has said that the ED will arrest Arvind Kejriwal and put him in jail. I want to ask the BJP and its spokespersons that when the ED has not mentioned if Arvind Kejriwal has been summoned as a witness or accused then how come the BJP knows that he would be arrested? They (BJP) know about it because ED's summon is scripted in BJP's headquarters."
