Srinagar (Jammu and Kashmir) [India], November 1 (ANI): Reacting to the Enforcement Directorate's summons to Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, National Conference Vice President Omar Abdullah asked if there is any opposition leader who has not received these summons.
"What's new in this? Which opposition leader or party has not received these summons?... Arvind Kejriwal is not the first leader of AAP to face this...," Omar Abdullah told reporters here.
He pointed out that AAP leader and former Deputy Chief Minister of Delhi Manish Sisodia is still in custody in the Delhi liquor policy scam case.
"I hope that after giving answers to ED, Kejriwal will return to his home," Abdullah said.
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) summoned Arvind Kejriwal, on November 2, to question him in connection with its ongoing probe into the Delhi excise policy case.
Kejriwal was earlier summoned by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) in April this year, in connection with the case.
However, Kejriwal was not named as an accused in the first information report (FIR) filed by the CBI on August 17, last year.
Meanwhile, AAP leader Raghav Chadha on Wednesday alleged that the BJP government at the Centre made a "scheme" to arrest the top leaders of the Opposition INDIA alliance and the first arrest under this will be that of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal.
Chadha said that the formation of the INDIA alliance made BJP leaders fearful of the loss in the upcoming Lok Sabha election. So the ruling BJP made a strategy to implicate the top leaders of INDIA alliance and put them in jail.
"When top leaders are in jail how can they contest elections and run their parties? If the top leaders of the INDIA alliance are in jail, then only the BJP can effectively campaign and in that way, they can win the election," Chadha said here in a press conference.
"For this, our sources say that a scheme has been made, and the first arrest under this will be that of Aravind Kejriwal who is going to be arrested by BJP's agencies," he added.
He said that the BJP used to win the elections because the Opposition votes were divided and this scenario ceased after the formation of the INDIA alliance.
Chadha also alleged that Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government wants Arvind Kejriwal arrested so that the BJP can win all seven Lok Sabha seats in the 2024 general election. (ANI)
