Home Minister Amit Shah took a jab at Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, implying that during his campaign for the Lok Sabha elections, people would be remind of the ‘liquor scam’. Shah commented that voters would visualize large liquor bottles whenever they see Kejriwal, even in Punjab. He also mention in an interview with ANI that he doesn’t believe the opposition INDIA bloc will gain any advantage from Kejriwal being grant interim bail to campaign.
The Supreme Court granted interim bail to Mr Kejriwal earlier this month in a case related to the Delhi liquor policy. The court has asked the Aam Aadmi Party chief to surrender on June 2, so that the Enforcement Directorate can continue their probe in the case.
Amit Shah said This is a wrong comment on the functioning of the Supreme Court
“What was their plea before the SC? They said that his arrest was illegal but the apex court dismissed it. Then they modified their plea and asked for bail; the court rejected that too. The Supreme Court said that as per your demand to campaign in elections, we are giving you interim bail and you have to surrender on June 1,” Mr Shah said.
The Home Minister also said that Mr Kejriwal’s remarks that a vote for AAP would ensure that he does not go back to jail sends out the wrong message. The Supreme Court judges have to decide this. Will the Supreme Court decide the crime based on victory or defeat? This is a wrong comment on the functioning of the Supreme Court,” Amit Shah said.
Mr Kejriwal, who was arrest by the Enforcement Directorate in the money laundering case link to the alleged Delhi liquor scam, was grant interim bail on May 10 for campaigning in the Lok Sabha elections. Four phases of polling in the ongoing Lok Sabha elections have been conclud. Voting for Delhi’s seven seats is schedule to be held on May 25. Mr Kejriwal has been asked to surrender on June 2, a day after polling ends in the last phase.
The ED’s case is that the Delhi liquor policy 2021-22 provided an exceptionally high-profit margin of 12 per cent for wholesalers and nearly 185 per cent for retailers. A key focus of the investigation into the Delhi liquor policy case was on an alleged network of middlemen, businessmen and politicians which the central agencies have called the “South Group”.
