ED counters Kejriwal's objections in Supreme Court, AAP accuses agency of being BJP's tool, no evidence against Kejriwal.
The Directorate of Enforcement (ED) has countered objections raised by Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal in the Supreme Court against his arrest in the excise policy case.
The ED said he did not cooperate with the Central agency despite multiple summonses to him.
The agency said he was arrested after the Delhi High Court had declined to grant him interim relief. The ED said it had evidence of his involvement, justifying his arrest.
The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) responded to the ED affidavit, saying the agency was acting as a tool of the ruling party in the Centre, the BJP.
“The ED has become nothing but a machine for telling lies. Each time ED comes up with new manufactured lies at the whims of their masters, BJP. Today, nobody in the country has any doubts that ED is a political wing of the BJP; the ED gets its directions from the BJP headquarters,” the AAP said.
The party said the ED did not have a shred of evidence against Mr. Kejriwal. There was no money trail linked to him.
“The only money trail in the alleged Delhi liquor scam is ₹60 crore bribe from Sharath Reddy to BJP’s accounts, which the ED is not investigating.”
