Amid AAP protests against the arrest of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal in connection with the liquor policy case, JD(U) MP Sanjay Kumar Jha said no one was above the law when facing ‘corruption’ charges.
Jha said, “He (Arvind Kejriwal) was issued 9 summonses. No one is above the law. After receiving the summonses, he should have appeared before the agency and argued his case. He could have put forth his views. I learned that Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal also withdrew his petition challenging his arrest (in the Supreme Court). If he feels he has been wronged, he should argue his case in court, not run away from it.”
In dramatic developments on the evening of March 21, the Directorate of Enforcement (ED) arrested the AAP national convenor after questioning him at his residence in connection with the excise policy case.
