Dinesh Chaddha accuses CBI of acting on Amit Shah's orders; calls for Home Minister's resignation
Punjab Newsline, Chandigarh, September 14-
AAP has sharply criticized the BJP and Home Minister Amit Shah following the Supreme Court's comments on the CBI's handling of the bail case for AAP supremo and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal in the Delhi Excise Policy case.
At a media conference with AAP spokesperson Govinder Mittal at the Chandigarh party office on Saturday, MLA Dinesh Chaddha accused the Bharatiya Janata Party, particularly Home Minister Amit Shah, of orchestrating the arrest of Arvind Kejriwal. He asserted that the Supreme Court's ruling substantiated this claim.
Chaddha highlighted that the Supreme Court questioned why the CBI, which had remained silent for 22 months after questioning Kejriwal, suddenly chose to arrest him just before he was about to secure bail in the ED case. The court also described the CBI's arrest as both illegal and unfair.
The Supreme Court reprimanded the CBI, stating that the arrest of Arvind Kejriwal was discriminatory and politically motivated. The CBI was urged not to act like a "caged parrot" and to work on maintaining its credibility, avoiding actions driven by political motives.
