ED’s complaint alleges Arvind Kejriwal intentionally did not want to obey the summons and kept on giving “lame excuses”

On Monday, for the 7th time, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal skipped the summons issued by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in connection with the excise policy scam case.

Last week, ED issued summons to Kejriwal and asked him to appear before the financial probe agency on Monday.

The financial probe agency’s complaint alleged that Kejriwal intentionally did not want to obey the summons and kept on giving “lame excuses.”

“If a high-ranking public functionary like him disobeys the law, it will set a wrong example for the common man i.e. the Aam Aadmi,” the agency said.

“Instead of sending summons every day, ED should await the court’s decision. We won’t leave the I.N.D.I. Alliance,” sources said.

On February 19, Kejriwal skipped ED’s sixth summon in connection with the alleged excise policy scam.

  1. The justice system can only start with investigation, followed by prosecution leading to adjudication. Not allowing the investigation is the first obstruction to justice system and no authority can be call independent which either over looks or does not address the obstruction, which leads to denial justice. The independence of convenience is no independence, unless it is transparent.
