'When there's bail, why is ED sending summons again & again': Kejriwal to give agency a miss

Delhi CM and AAP National Convenor Arvind Kejriwal won't be appearing before the Enforcement Directorate today. 
"When there is bail from the court, why is ED sending summons again and again...ED summons are illegal," the party said in a statement. Kerjiwal was issued summons by ED under Section 50 of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act in the Delhi Jal Board case.

The party called ED action as a "backup" plan to stop him from campaigning in the Lok Sabha polls.

According to the officials, Kejriwal (55), who is also the national convenor of AAP, is required to present himself before the agency at its office on A P J Abdul Kalam Road on March 18 to provide his statement under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA). This latest development marks the second instance where Kejriwal has been summoned under the anti-money laundering law. 

He is also facing inquiries in the Delhi excise policy-related money laundering case and has previously disregarded eight summons in that matter, terming those "illegitimate". The ED has issued a fresh summons to Kejriwal to appear for questioning on March 21 in the excise policy-linked money laundering case. Delhi minister Atishi, at a press conference, expressed concerns over the motive behind these actions and said, "Nobody knows what this Delhi Jal Board (DJB) case is about. This seems to be a backup plan to arrest Kejriwal anyhow and stop him from campaigning in the Lok Sabha polls."
