The opposition bloc INDIA will reportedly hold a demonstration inside the Parliament premises on Monday, July 1 against the central government for alleged misuse of central agencies including the Enforcement Directorate and the Central Bureau of Investigation.
Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MP Sanjay Singh, in a press conference on Sunday, announced the alliance parties’ decision to protest against the central government.
Addressing a press conference at the AAP headquarters in Delhi on Sunday, Singh said, “INDIA block parties had unanimously decided that we will protest against the misuse of ED and CBI on Parliament premises tomorrow at 10.30 am.”
According to the agency report, the AAP lawmaker also alleged that the central government ordered the arrest of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal. He added that D has no evidence against the party chief in the excise case.
“The court (Rouse Avenue Court) said in its order that ED has no evidence against Arvind Kejriwal and is working with evil intentions. ED has no money trail against Arvind Kejriwal, no evidence, no recovery of money and therefore Arvind Kejriwal is innocent,” he said, as reported by ANI.
He further alleged that the “ED people” came to the High Court unconstitutionally and illegally without carrying a copy of the order and got a stay of bail.
“Arvind Kejriwal was arrested by the CBI on the instructions of the central government, Prime Minister Modi“Singh added.
On July 29, the Delhi Court had reportedly sent CM Kejriwal to judicial custody till July 12 in connection with the ongoing probe into the excise policy case.
Advocate DP Singh, who appeared before the CBI, claimed that though accused Arvind Kejriwal was questioned during police custody, he deliberately gave evasive answers contrary to the evidence on record and did not cooperate with the investigation, ANI reported.
According to the agency’s report, the CBI had claimed before the court that when confronted with the evidence, it had failed to provide a proper and truthful explanation regarding the increase in the profit margin of wholesalers from 5% to 12% under the new Delhi Excise Policy 2021-22, without providing any justification study.
