The arrest of a CM
The arrest of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) raises serious questions about political vendetta and the misuse of investigative agencies.
The timing, just ahead of the general election, strengthens the suspicion. When a sitting Chief
Minister faces arrest, it undermines public trust. We must safeguard our democratic institutions from undue influence and uphold the right to dissent. Mr. Kejriwal’s arrest is not about one individual. It is about the soul of our democracy. Let us demand clarity, fairness, and an adherence to constitutional norms.

That those facing corruption charges are left/let off the moment they join hands with the ruling national party is a known fact. The question arising in everyone’s mind is whether Mr. Kejriwal can continue as the Chief Minister of Delhi while behind bars. Only legal eagles can answer this sensitive question.

It is surprising to note that some in the media have chosen to ignore certain vital facts leading to the arrest of Mr. Kejriwal. First, his blatant defiance to comply with as many as nine summons issued by the ED. His desperate efforts in getting protection from arrest failed. One of his Ministers is still in custody and all his attempts to get bail have failed. There seems to be enough material to back the allegations in the liquor policy. Mr. Kejriwal has only himself to blame himself for the situation he is in.
