Bhubaneswar: Arvind Kejriwal will not appear before the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on November 21 as he left for a 10-day Vipassana meditation camp on Wednesday.
ED on Monday issued a second summons to the Delhi chief minister to question him in the Delhi liquor policy-linked money-laundering case.
Kejriwal had skipped ED’s previous summons on November 2 also, saying it was illegal and politically motivated.
The Aam Aadmi party questioned the timing of the fresh summons to Kejriwal as his Vipassana session was “pre-scheduled”and the information was in public domain.
“Everyone knows the chief minister is leaving for Vipassana on December 19. He regularly goes for this meditation course. It’s a pre-scheduled and pre-announced plan,” AAP MP Raghav Chadha said.
“Lawyers are examining the ED’s notice and such steps will be taken that are legally correct,” AAP said on Tuesday, adding that its legal team will reply to the notice.
