ED summons CM Kejriwal for eighth time for questioning on March 4
New Delhi: The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has once again summoned Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal. This marks the eighth summons issued by the ED to Kejriwal.
On the seven previous occasions, CM Kejriwal did not appear before the ED, citing the illegality of the summons. The ED has once again issued a summons, requesting Arvind Kejriwal to appear for questioning on March 4. The seventh summons to CM Kejriwal was issued on February 22.
Recent reports indicate that Delhi Chief Minister and Aam Aadmi Party chief Arvind Kejriwal will once again not appear before the ED. The Aam Aadmi Party stated that Kejriwal will not comply with the summons at this time, as the matter is pending in court, with the next hearing scheduled for March 16. The party emphasizes that instead of issuing daily summons, the ED should await the court’s decision.
AAP has expressed concern about the pressure being exerted on them to leave the INDIA alliance, stating firmly that they will not withdraw. The Modi government is urged not to apply such pressure tactics.
