PIL Seeks Removal of Arvind Kejriwal from Delhi Chief Minister’s Post

A public interest litigation (PIL) filed in the Delhi High Court demands the removal of Arvind Kejriwal from his position as Delhi’s Chief Minister following his arrest in an alleged money laundering case linked to the excise policy.

Grounds for Removal and Allegations

The plea highlights Kejriwal’s arrest by the Enforcement Directorate in connection with the alleged liquor policy scam. It references the High Court’s refusal to grant interim protection to Kejriwal prior to his arrest and cites statements made by Delhi Minister Atishi regarding Kejriwal’s determination to retain his position despite the charges.

Impact on Government Credibility and Constitutional Machinery

The plea argues that Kejriwal’s continued tenure as Chief Minister tarnishes the credibility and image of the Delhi Government in the eyes of the public. It warns of potential obstruction of justice and breakdown of constitutional machinery if Kejriwal remains in office amidst ongoing legal proceedings.
