New Delhi [India], June 30 (ANI): The opposition, INDIA bloc, will hold a demonstration inside Parliament premises on Monday, July 1, against the central government over the alleged misuse of central agencies, including Directorate of Enforcement and Central Bureau of Investigation.
Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MP Sanjay Singh, in a press conference held on Sunday, announced the decision of the alliance parties to protest against the central government.
“The parties of the INDIA bloc had unanimously decided that we will protest against the misuse of ED and CBI in the Parliament premises tomorrow at 10.30 am,” Singh said while addressing the press conference in AAP headquarters in Delhi on Sunday.
The AAP legislator also alleged that the central government directed the arrest of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, adding that the ED has no evidence against the party chief in the excise policy case.
“The court (Rouse Avenue Court) said in its order that ED has no evidence against Arvind Kejriwal and that it is working with malicious intent. ED has no money trail against Arvind Kejriwal, no evidence, no recovery of money and hence Arvind Kejriwal is innocent,” he said.
He further alleged that the “ED people” reached the High Court in an unconstitutional, illegal manner without taking a copy of the order and got a stay on that bail.
“Arvind Kejriwal was arrested by the CBI on the instructions of the Central Government, PM Modi,” Singh added.
On July 29, the Delhi Court sent CM Kejriwal to judicial custody until July 12 in connection with the ongoing probe into the excise policy case.
Advocate DP Singh, who appeared for CBI, submitted that during the police custody remand, the accused Arvind Kejriwal, was interrogated but he did not cooperate with the investigation and deliberately gave evasive replies contrary to the evidence on record.
On being confronted with the evidence, he did not give a proper and truthful explanation regarding the enhancement of the profit margin for wholesalers from 5 per cent to 12 per cent under the new Excise Policy of Delhi 2021-22, without any study or justification, the CBI submitted in court.
The AAP staged a protest on June 29 against the court’s order. The protest was staged in front of BJP office in Delhi that witnessed the participation several AAP leaders and legislators.
