Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, in his reply to the ED, said, “The summons notice is illegal and politically motivated”. The notice has been sent at the behest of the BJP. The notice has been sent to ensure that I am unable to go campaigning in four states. ED should withdraw the notice immediately. This information has been given by the Chief Minister’s Office. Kejriwal has remained silent on the summons even as party leaders expressed apprehension of his arrest. Just before the appearance, Kejriwal has sent a reply.

Recently, their senior leader Sanjay Singh was also arrested.
