New Delhi: Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Thursday demanded the Enforcement Directorate (ED) withdraw its "vague and motivated" notice summoning him for questioning, claiming that it was "illegal and politically motivated".
The ED had summoned the Delhi chief minister for questioning in a money laundering case linked to the alleged excise policy scam.
"The said summons is not clear as to the capacity in which I am being summoned i.e. as a witness or a suspect in the above-mentioned case. Please recall the said summons, which is to say the least is vague and motivated and I am advised, unsustainable in law," Kejriwal stated in his letter to Jogendar, Assistant Director, ED.
He further alleged that the said summons appears to be politically motivated and issued for extraneous considerations.
After writing to the ED to withdraw summons issued to him, Arvind Kejriwal left for Madhya Pradesh to canvass for upcoming Assembly Elections in the state, reports Dynamite News correspondent.
