AAP calls Delhi CM's ED notice illegal, Kejriwal skips third summons

New Delhi: AAP sources stated that Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Wednesday ignored the ED's third summons in the Delhi excise policy case and instead filed a written response denouncing the notification as unlawful.
While claiming that Kejriwal was prepared to assist the agency, the Aam Aadmi Party said that the summons was given with the aim of arresting him.
"Why has the notice been sent right before elections? The notice is an attempt to stop Kejriwal from campaigning in elections," the party alleged.
Kejriwal was summoned on Wednesday for questioning by the Enforcement Directorate in connection with an excise policy-linked money laundering case.
This was the third ED notice to Kejriwal, also the AAP's convener, after he refused to appear before the federal agency on two earlier summonses for November 2 and December 21.
