Kejriwal’s arrest was illegal, was done without sanction, claims AAP
AAP leader Sanjay Singh said MHA sanction being sought now to prosecute Arvind Kejriwal, makes it clear that ED-CBI arrested him illegally under pressure
Delhi BJP President Virendra Sachdeva, while commenting on fresh the summons issued to Arvind Kejriwal by the Enforcement Directorate (ED), accused the Delhi chief minister of flouting the law by skipping the summons so far. He said the agency was working independently.
The BJP leader said the bail granted to Kejriwal on Saturday was not related to the liquor policy case. “After disrespecting the summons which Kejriwal previously claimed were illegal, he has now taken bail confirming the validity of the summons,” he pointed out.

Lashing out at AAP leaders for their claims that the liquor policy case was fake, Sachdeva said, ”Arvind Kejriwal’s former deputy chief minister has been in jail for over a year in the liquor scam case, and an MP (Sanjay Singh) has also been in jail for a long time, but the repeated assertion by the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) that there was no scam in the liquor policy is ludicrous in itself.”

He asked Kejriwal and Atishi, ‘Firstly, what was the need to change the liquor policy in Delhi, and if the new liquor policy was good, why did it have to be withdrawn as soon as the investigation began?”
The BJP leader further alleged that the new policy was implemented to push Delhi’s youth into addiction and to loot money, and now that investigative agencies are working, Delhi CM will have to answer, he asserted.
Speaking on the second summons by ED in the Delhi Jal Board (DJB) case, the BJP leader claimed it was known all how the Jal Board had been looted.
The BJP has always maintained that the Jal Board scam was bigger than the liquor scam, Sachdeva added. Elaborating on his contention, Sachdeva said when Kejriwal came to power, he made big promises to end the tanker mafia, however, at that time Jal Board was into a profit, but at present, it is in huge loss.
He further said, “Four to five officials have been arrested because fake documents were made and money was looted. Work was shown on paper but the ground reality is completely different. Contractors were paid and they took their commission in that payment.”
