Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal faces additional challenges as the Enforcement Directorate (ED) has summoned him to appear before them on December 21 regarding the alleged excise policy scam. This development coincides with Kejriwal's planned 10-day Vipassana session starting December 19.
The ED's summon arrives as Kejriwal prepares for his scheduled Vipassana session, suggesting he might proceed despite the summons.
Earlier, on November 2, Kejriwal skipped the ED's summons in connection with the same case, labeling it as illegal and politically driven. He accused the BJP of orchestrating the notice to hinder his election campaigning in four states and urged the ED to retract it promptly.
Key Points:
1. Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal faces a fresh summons from the Enforcement Directorate (ED) regarding an alleged excise policy scam, coinciding with his scheduled 10-day Vipassana session from Dec 19-30.
2. Despite the summons for Dec 21, Kejriwal intends to proceed with his Vipassana session, as sources suggest.
3. This isn't the first time; Kejriwal previously skipped an ED summons on Nov 2, alleging it was politically motivated by the BJP to disrupt his election campaigning.
4. Kejriwal labeled the notice as illegal and urged the ED to withdraw it, emphasizing its impact on his political engagements.
5. The summons adds to Kejriwal's challenges ahead of his planned meditation retreat, raising concerns about balancing legal obligations with his scheduled commitments.
