Intensifying its attack on Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal over his defence of Satyendar Jain, the BJP on June 1 cited a host of details linked to the money laundering case allegedly involving the Delhi Health Minister and asked why he has been “protecting” him.
Union Minister Smriti Irani noted that Mr. Kejriwal had said on May 31 that corruption was tantamount to “gaddari” (betrayal) with the country and asked why the AAP national convener was giving protection to a “gaddar” (traitor) who has allegedly deceived treasury and people.
Ms. Irani fired off a number of questions at Mr. Kejriwal, who has rejected the Enforcement Directorate case of money laundering against his arrested ministerial colleague as forged and politically motivated, as she shared details of allegations against Mr. Jain to ask the Chief Minister if they were true or not.
