Supreme Court lawyer Vineet Jindal said, “Aam Aadmi Party is issuing this order in the name of Arvind Kejriwal. Due to ED’s remand, the court has not allowed the CM to issue any order.
He said, “These orders are being issued not for any work but for political gains, which is legally wrong.”
He alleged, “Arvind Kejriwal is exaggerating his problems so that when action is taken, he can blame BJP.”
CM Kejriwal was arrested by ED on March 21, the court has sent him to ED custody till March 28. He is accused of being directly involved in a conspiracy related to liquor policy.
