Arvind Kejriwal news highlights: ‘Arvind Kejriwal 'kingpin', 'key conspirator' in excise scam,’ ED tells HC

Arvind Kejriwal News LIVE Updates: AAP on Tuesday said Arvind Kejriwal will not resign as the chief minister at any cost as two crore people in Delhi stand with him.

“The party MLAs on Tuesday met Arvind Kejriwal's wife, Sunita Kejriwal and asserted that the Delhi chief minister should continue to run the government from jail and not step down," Saurabh Bharadwaj said while speaking to a news agency. 

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal was taken to Tihar jail after Rouse Avenue court ordered to send the AAP convener to be sent to judicial custody till April 15. Several AAP leaders continued to stage protest outside Tihar jail.

After Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal was sent to judicial custody, his wife Sunita Kejriwal slammed the Centre, stating that the "people of the country will answer to this dictatorship."

"If the investigation was over, then why has he been sent to jail? The people of the country will answer to this dictatorship," asked Sunita Kejriwal.

Earlier, the court on March 28 extended Kejriwal's ED custody till April 1. The Enforcement Directorate arrested the AAP supremo on March 21 in an alleged liquor policy case.

Meanwhile, the Supreme Court on Tuesday granted bail to AAP leader Sanjay Singh in a money laundering case related to the Delhi excise policy irregularities case. The court order came after the ED chose not to oppose Sanjay Singh's bail plea.

A bench led by Justice Sanjiv Khanna directed the release of Sanjay Singh on bail during the pendency of trial in a money laundering case relating to excise policy irregularities.

The Enforcement Directorate informed the SC that the agency has no objection to Sanjay Singh getting bail. The ED response came after the court sought to know from the investigating agency whether it needed further custody of AAP leader Sanjay Singh in the excise policy case.

Arvind Kejriwal News LIVE updates: ‘Bad habits,’ Jaishankar cautioned against unwarranted political commentary on India's internal matters

External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar cautioned against unwarranted political commentary on India's internal matters, stressing that any such interference would be met with a "very strong reply." 

Jaishankar's remarks came in the wake of recent statements by envoys from the US, Germany, and the United Nations regarding the arrest of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal by the Enforcement Directorate. India has vehemently protested these statements.

 "Somebody asked a person from the UN (about Kejriwal's arrest), and he gave some reply. But in other cases, I would say very frankly these are old habits, these are bad habits," Jaishankar said. 

The Minister emphasised the importance of respecting the sovereignty of nations and refraining from meddling in each other's domestic affairs. "There is a certain 'maryada' (restraint) among countries. We are sovereign countries, we should not be interfering in each other's internal affairs, we should not be passing comments about each other's politics," he added.

Arvind Kejriwal News LIVE updates: Arvind Kejriwal 'kingpin', 'key conspirator' in excise scam, ED tells Delhi HC

In its reply filed to the petition, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) said there were "reasons to believe on the basis of material in possession" that Kejriwal was "guilty of the offence of money laundering". 

"Sh Arvind Kejriwal, Chief Minister of NCT of Delhi, is the kingpin and key conspirator of the Delhi Excise Scam in collusion with Ministers of Delhi Govt, AAP leaders and other persons.. Sh Arvind Kejriwal was directly involved in the formulation of the Excise Policy 2021-22.

"This policy was being drafted considering the favours to be granted to the South Group and was formed in collusion with Sh Vijay Nair, Sh Manish Sisodia and members representatives of the South Group," said the response.

Kejriwal is involved in the use of proceeds of crime thus generated in the Goa election campaign of the AAP of which he is the convenor and the ultimate decision-maker, it added.

The petition is listed for hearing before Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma on Wednesday.

On March 27, the high court had refused to grant interim relief to Kejriwal, saying the matter raised important issues that cannot be "summarily" decided without seeking the agency's stand and had asked the ED to file its reply to the challenge to his arrest and the subsequent remand to the ED's custody.

In the reply, the ED further said after filing of the present petition, the petitioner was further remanded to its custody vide a well-reasoned and detailed remand order till April 1 when he was subsequently sent to judicial custody by the trial court, which was not opposed by his counsel.

"In light of the above submission made by the petitioner before the Ld. Special Court, PMLA that he has no objection to the custody/ remand being extended further, the petitioner has waived his right to question his custody as on today and the petitioner cannot now be allowed to argue that his custody as on today is illegal," the response added.

Arvind Kejriwal News LIVE updates:  ‘Arvind Kejriwal intentionally disobeyed 9 summonses,’ ED tells HC

The Enforcement Directorate on Tuesday filed a reply before the Delhi High Court opposing Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's plea challenging his arrest and said he was given multiple opportunities to cooperate with the investigation being conducted by the ED in the present case by issuing 9 summonses.

Arvind Kejriwal News LIVE updates: ‘Aam Aadmi Party first fooled you…,’ Anurag Thakur says

Union Minister Anurag Thakur on Tuesday came down heavily on the Aam Aadmi Party leaders for their alleged involvement in the Delhi excise policy scam.

While speaking to ANI, Thakur said, "Aam Aadmi Party first fooled the people of Delhi by promising to work as an anti-corrupt government and then looted the public. Their ministers have been in jail. It shows how corrupt the Aam Aadmi Party and the Delhi CM are".

Thakur accused several AAP leaders of being involved in similar scandals, like the liquor scam, portraying the party as corrupt and Kejriwal as a rigidly dishonest figure.

"One after the other, corrupt leaders of AAP went to jail. They betrayed the people of Delhi, it is very unfortunate. Most of their leaders are trapped in the liquor scam. Some are in jail for six months and some for one and a half years, this shows how corrupt the Aam Aadmi Party is and how dishonest Arvind Kejriwal is," Thakur said.

Union Minister Hardeep Singh Puri hit out at Delhi Minister and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Atishi for her claims of being approached to join the Bharatiya Janata Party.

"There is no vacancy in our party for a political activist like Atishi. There is a yuva leader who said that a BJP worker has said that after getting 400 seats, we will destroy the constitution. No one has given such a statement. I don't think any worker of the BJP will go to Atishi and say such a thing at a time when the whole party is stuck in a liquor scam. Do we need to have a headache by getting them into our party?" Hardeep Singh Puri told ANI on Tuesday.

On the INDIA bloc's mega rally in Delhi, Sachdeva said that it holds no importance as the public of India stands with Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

"The chairs during their address in the mega rally were empty. They all are corrupt, nobody wants to listen to their speeches. 140 crore Indians are backing Prime Minister Modi. The fate of these corrupt politicians will be decided by the public," Sachdeva said.

Arvind Kejriwal News LIVE updates: Should Arvind Kejriwal continue as chief minister, former SC judge says, ‘public morality demands…’

Former Supreme Court judge Justice Ajay Rastogi has suggested that it is not good for a person in custody to continue in office, referring to Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, who is facing demands of resignation following his arrest by the Enforcement Directorate in the Delhi liquor policy case.

"I think sections 8 and 9 are there for the disqualification in the Representation of the People's Act. That also deals with disqualification, the count of qualification, and a certain other nature of disqualifications," Justice Rastogi told ANI.

He said there are many restrictions under the Delhi Prison rules and every paper has to route through the Suprindent of Jails who examines it and "only with his permission you can sign".

"...If these are restrictions which law farmers have put in place, I think it is high time the person has to take a call whether it is befitting for me to continue in office while in custody," he said.

"...You are holding a high office of a chief minister and it is a public office. If you are in custody, I feel that it is not good for a person in custody to continue in office. The public morality demands that one must quit. Let us see in the past also. J Jayalalithaa, Lalu Prasad Yadav resigned and recently Mr (Hemant) Soren also resigned. You can't take any paper to the sitting chief minister in custody and get him signed...I am very firm in my view that the public morality demands it (resignation)," he added.
