Salient points of BJP MP Sushri Bansuri Swaraj’s Press Conference

 

The Supreme Court's decision is not a victory for Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, but rather a declaration that the Chief Minister is implicated in the liquor scam with sufficient evidence in the possession of the ED

******************

Arvind Kejriwal filed a plea not for bail but to assert that the court should acknowledge that his arrest was unlawful

******************

Under Section 19 of the PMLA, it is required that the accused should be considered the primary culprit of the offense. Today, the court has stamped its approval on this

******************

A few days ago, ED presented a detailed charge sheet in the court in which, citing the Whatsapp chats, evidence and other facts, it is clear that Arvind Kejriwal is the 'kingpin' of the liquor scam

******************

There is no credible evidence to support the claim that CM Arvind Kejriwal took a kickback of ₹100 crore out of that ₹45 crore of it was spent during the Goa elections

******************

In the history of India, the Aam Aadmi Party has become the first party to be so deeply involved in corruption that it has also been named as an accused in the charge sheet

******************

The Supreme Court has indicated that whenever a person in a constitutional position is involved in such offenses, they should resign from their post. However, Arvind Kejriwal is reportedly misleading investigative agencies

******************

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's stubbornness has led to policy paralysis and a constitutional crisis in Delhi. Kejriwal is intoxicated by power, causing distress among the people of Delhi

Bhartiya Janta Party MP Sushri Bansuri Swaraj addressed a press conference at the party’s headquarters in New Delhi on Friday. During the press conference, Sushri Swaraj emphasized that the Supreme Court has confirmed Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's involvement in the liquor case and stated that the ED has sufficient evidence against him. She refuted the false allegations spread by the AAP regarding the interim bail granted to Arvind Kejriwal by the Supreme Court.

 

Sushri Swaraj stated that today the Hon’ble Supreme Court delivered an important verdict and AAP is, as usual, trying to mislead the public and media. The Supreme Court’s order did not grant any relief to Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, instead, it confirmed that he was involved in the liquor policy case and that the ED had sufficient proof against him.

Sushri Bansuri Swaraj stated that Arvind Kejriwal did not file a bail plea but instead submitted an affidavit in court claiming his arrest was illegal. However, the Supreme Court did not grant any relief on this matter, the Court believed that the ED had sufficient evidence under Section 19 to justify the arrest. Sushri Swaraj cited that Section 19 of the PMLA Act states, “The Director/Deputy Director or any other officer authorized should have a reason to believe any person has been guilty of an offense punishable under the act, he may arrest such a person.”

 

BJP MP Sushri Swaraj conveyed that the Supreme Court determined that the investigating agency had enough proof to meet the requirements of Section 19, making Kejriwal the prima facie suspect in the liquor case. The Supreme Court has effectively given its approval, indicating that Arvind Kejriwal is involved in the case.

 

Sushri Swaraj stated that the interim bail for Arvind Kejriwal is only because one point of law is referred to a larger bench. Whenever a case is referred to a larger bench, it takes more time for a hearing. However, two things are important: a few days ago, the ED presented a very detailed charge sheet before the court. According to the charge sheet, after examining Whatsapp chats, evidence and other facts, it was revealed that Arvind Kejriwal was the kingpin of the liquor scam. Arvind Kejriwal has close ties with other co-accused in the liquor case and received a kickback of ₹100 crore, out of which ₹45 crore was used by AAP in the Goa election. This makes AAP the first party to be included in a charge sheet.

 

BJP MP Sushri Swaraj mentioned that today the Supreme Court has made a significant observation. While not issuing a directive, the Court has strongly hinted that any constitutional functionary involved in such offenses should resign from their position. However, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal is misleading investigative agencies and occasionally implicating names of Saurabh Bharadwaj, Atishi Marlena or Durgesh Pathak. Arvind Kejriwal is so intoxicated by power that he is not ready to leave the CM's chair. Kejriwal’s stubbornness has led to policy paralysis and a constitutional crisis in Delhi.

 

Sushri Swaraj stated that today, the interim bail conditions imposed on Arvind Kejriwal are similar to those given to him previously. These conditions, outlined in the May 10 order granting him interim bail, include two significant points: firstly, Kejriwal cannot go to the CM's office and secondly, he is barred from signing any files unless they do not need to be forwarded to the LG's office.

 

BJP MP Sushri Swaraj remarked again that Arvind Kejriwal's stubbornness has plunged Delhi into complete policy paralysis. “Satta Ke Moh Mein Kejriwal Madmast Hai, Delhi Ki Janata Trast Hai'”. Sushri Swaraj emphasized that Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal should resign immediately.
