Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Sunday said the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) may arrest him if the probe agency has been \u201cordered by the BJP\u201d to do so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Talking to newsmen on Sunday morning ahead of his questioning by the CBI in connection with the purported liquor policy scam case, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) chief lashed out at the Bharatiya Janata Party saying that they (BJP) can send anyone who opposes them to jail, innocent or otherwise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Delhi CM who held a meeting of AAP top brass today morning ahead of the central probe agency\u2019s questioning claimed that he will be arrested by the CBI \u201cif the BJP has instructed it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Continuing his scathing attack against the BJP, Kejriwal said the BJP has become very arrogant and claimed the saffron party threatens whomever they want including judges, the media and industrialists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He asked if sending him to jail will solve the country\u2019s problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Arvind Kejriwal will be questioned by the CBI today at 11 am and will be accompanied by Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, MPs, ministers and top AAP leaders to the federal agency\u2019s headquarters where security has been heightened and prohibitory orders under Section 144 CrPC have been imposed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The AAP supremo was served summons by the CBI on Friday to appear before it for questioning in connection with the liquor policy case. The AAP has claimed that the summon is a conspiracy to arrest Kejriwal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Responding to the CBI summons, Arvind Kejriwal on Saturday alleged that the CBI and the ED \u201cframed\u201d his former deputy Manish Sisodia in the purported liquor policy scam case by forging evidence and said that he will file appropriate cases against the central agencies for perjury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The AAP supremo accused the two probe agencies of lying under oath and misleading the court to frame Sisodia, who was arrested by the CBI in February in connection with the alleged excise policy scam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kejriwal said that appropriate cases will be filed against the ED and the CBI for \u201cperjury and producing false evidence\u201d while also claiming that the two federal agencies are catching someone every day and torturing them\u2014mentally and physically\u2014to force them to name Delhi ministers in the excise policy case.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
