The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) will take legal opinion on the fresh summons issued to Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) only after he returns from his 10-day Vipassana retreat in Punjab, said senior party leader Gopal Rai on Saturday.
This is the third notice issued by the Central probe agency to Mr. Kejriwal in a money-laundering case lodged against him. He has been asked to appear before the agency for questioning on January 3. On earlier two occasions, Mr. Kejriwal did not appear before the agency for questioning.
Mr. Rai told reporters at a press conference that right now, there is no communication with the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) chief. “AAP will take legal opinion and discuss the summons only after the Chief Minister returns,” he added, calling the move “politically motivated”.
