ED acting as if Kejriwal ‘most wanted terrorist’, says Sunita Kejriwal; BJP hits back
Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s wife Sunita Kejriwal on Friday lashed out at the Enforcement Directorate for challenging her husband’s bail order in the high court, accusing it of acting as if the AAP national convener was the “most wanted terrorist in India”. The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) cited the Rouse Avenue court order granting bail to Kejriwal, saying it had demolished the case of the ED and demanded that the BJP should apologise to the party and Kejriwal.
The central probe agency failed to furnish direct evidence linking Kejriwal to the proceeds of crime in the money laundering case against him, a Delhi court has said while ordering his release on bail on Thursday.
On the ED’s plea, the Delhi High Court granted interim stay on the trial court’s order giving bail to the chief minister. The high court also issued a notice to Kejriwal seeking his response on ED’s plea challenging the trial court’s June 20 order by which he was granted bail.
Speaking in south Delhi’s Bhogal, where Delhi Water Minister Atishi began an indefinite hunger strike to press on her demand for getting more water from Haryana, Sunita Kejriwal, in an apparent attack on the BJP, alleged that dictatorship in the country has crossed all limits.
“It was only yesterday your chief minister got bail. In the morning, the order was supposed to be uploaded (on court’s website). Even before the order was uploaded, the ED approached the Delhi High Court. This happened as if Kejriwal is the most wanted terrorist in India,” Sunita Kejriwal said.
