Arrest, rally plan
The decision of the INDIA bloc to take out a rally to protest the arrest of Delhi Chief Minister and AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal (March 25) is ill-conceived. The contention that the arrest is political vendetta is unimpressive especially as Mr. Kejriwal did not respond to the Enforcement Directorate’s summons. Had he responded to the summons on time, he would have been in a position of strength. One must also not forget that unless the ED has substantial proof, it does not accost an individual. There must be enough material with the ED to hold Mr. Kejriwal guilty. The protest rally will be a blot on Mr. Kejriwal’s persona as a clean politician.
