Delhi HC Notice to ED Amid Kejriwal Arrest Challenge

The Delhi High Court issued a notice to the Enforcement Directorate (ED) following a petition by Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal challenging his arrest and the ED remand granted by the trial court. The court emphasized the need for fair representation for both parties.

Political Backlash and Legal Arguments

While BJP leaders criticized Kejriwal over the excise policy case, AAP accused the Central Government of orchestrating a political conspiracy using the ED. Kejriwal’s legal team argued against his arrest during the Model Code of Conduct, highlighting the need for a level-playing field in democracy.

Demand for Release and Opposition’s Stand

AAP demanded Kejriwal’s release, alleging misuse of institutions to target opposition leaders. Amid concerns of President’s rule, AAP leaders condemned the Centre’s actions as an attack on democracy. Congress joined the fray, organizing protests against what it termed as suppression of democracy.
