Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) chief and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has skipped the third summons issued by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) to appear before the agency on Wednesday for questioning in connection with the Delhi excise case.
The AAP is alleging that the charges are a conspiracy by the central government to arrest Mr. Kejriwal before the Lok Sabha election. The BJP is hitting back saying the AAP leader is scared of getting arrested like his party colleagues.
Mr. Kejriwal in a letter sent to the ED on Wednesday reiterated that the summons are “motivated” and appear to be a “fishing exercise” because the agency has not answered his queries about the earlier summons.
