New Delhi : Delhi chief minister and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) national convener Arvind Kejriwal is set to appear before the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Sunday for questioning after the probe agency issued a summon on Friday in connection with the alleged irregularities in the capital’s now-scrapped 2021-22 excise policy.
Kejriwal will be accompanied by his Punjab counterpart Bhagwant Mann and cabinet colleagues to the probe agency’s office. Kejriwal is being summoned as a witness in the excise policy case in which ex-Delhi deputy CM Manish Sisodia was arrested on February 26 for alleged corruption. The court termed Sisodia “prima facie” as “the architect” of the criminal conspiracy, news agency PTI reported.
Ahead of his appearance on Sunday, Kejriwal said, “You (BJP) say that I am corrupt. I was a Commissioner in the Income Tax department, I could have earned crores if I wanted to. If Arvind Kejriwal is corrupt then there is no one in this world who is honest”.
Kejriwal said that he will go to the CBI as directed but said that he will sue the CBI and ED officials for alleged perjury and filing false affidavits in courts.
