New Delhi, Dec 20, 2023: Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Wednesday left for a 10-day Vipassana meditation camp and will not appear before the Enforcement Directorate, which sent a second summons to him.

 

The Enforcement Directorate on Monday issued a fresh summons to the Delhi chief minister for questioning on December 21 in the excise policy-linked money laundering case.

The pre-scheduled Vipassana program will continue until December 30.

On Tuesday, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) questioned the timing of the Enforcement Directorate’s summons to Arvind Kejriwal and said the party’s lawyers are studying the notice and "legally correct" steps will be taken.

"Lawyers are examining the ED’s notice and such steps will be taken that are legally correct," the AAP said in a statement, adding its legal team would reply to the notice.

AAP leaders said Kejriwal’s Vipassana session was "pre-scheduled" and the information was in the public domain.

"Everyone knows the Chief Minister is leaving for Vipassana on December 19. He regularly goes for this meditation course. It’s a pre-scheduled and pre-announced plan," AAP MP Raghav Chadha said.
