New Delhi, Leading News Service: Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal was arrested in the liquor abuse case in Delhi. In the wake of the arrest drama, the constituent parties of the opposition's India Alliance came together today (22nd) and supported Kejriwal in a show of strength. Also, as per the order of the Central Government, the Enforcement Directorate has taken retaliatory action. The delegation of India Aghadi demanded the Election Commission to intervene in this case.
Congress leader K. C. Venugopal, former MP and senior lawyer Abhishek Manu Singhvi, Trinamool Congress' Derek O'Brien and Mohammad Nadimul Haque, Marxist Communist Party's Sitaram Yechury, Aam Aadmi Party's Sandeep Pathak and Pankaj Gupta, Nationalist Congress Party (Sharad Pawar faction) Jitendra Awad and Samajwadi Party MP Javed Ali's delegation met the Election Commission today and complained about the misuse of central investigation agencies against the ruling party.
After Kejriwal's arrest, it was Abhishek Singhvi who represented Kejriwal in the Rouse Avenue court. In this context, after the meeting with the Election Commission, Abhishek Singhvi, speaking to the media, claimed that the action taken by the ED on Thursday (21st) night was illegal. Stating that the issue is related to the constitution, he said that when government machinery is misused, the constitution and democracy are under attack. Even earlier there were governments of different parties at the Centre. But Singhvi also angrily criticized that the government had not misused the investigation agencies so much in the elections. Do the rulers want us to win before the election? While asking such an ironic question, Singhvi demanded that the Election Commission should take action so that the Election Commission does not remain a mere cosmetic institution.
