A day after getting a notice from the Election Commission, Delhi Minister Atishi on Saturday asked the Enforcement Directorate (ED) to reveal the action taken against BJP leaders in connection with alleged money laundering cases. Questioning the probe agency, the AAP leaders said the ED has been searching for money trail in alleged liquor scam for two years, now that money trail is public, why is it still silent”.
Addressing a press conference here, the senior AAP leader lashed out at the Election Commission accusing the poll body of working at the behest of the BJP.
"On the basis of mere doubt, the ED arrested AAP leaders Sanjay Singh, Manish Sisodia, and even the national convener of our party Arvind Kejriwal ji, even as no money trail was found against them. "What action has the ED taken against the BJP leaders where the investigation agency has been able to establish a money trail," she asked.
Criticising the AAP leader Atishi, Delhi BJP president Virendra Sachdeva has said that Delhi's Minister Atishi has become a fake stories teller.
“Every morning she wakes up to create a new political controversy with her diatribe. The lies she keeps telling on liquor scam have all been kept in the Court hearing the liquor scam as a part of the Kejriwal government's defence strategy but none of their stands could stand in Court resulting in jail for all the accused including Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwalm” he said.
Earlier, during the press conference, Atishi accused the BJP of using the Election Commission like other central agencies to target the opposition. "The BJP has been using agencies like the CBI, ED and now the Election Commission to target AAP leaders and get them arrested. I want to tell BJP that it should stop hiding behind these agencies and battle AAP in the elections," she said.
In another press conference, AAP leader Jasmine Shah asked the ED to investigate the alleged relationship between the accused-turned-approvers in the case and the BJP. “BJP turned ED into Gandhi Ji’s three monkeys, “won’t listen to anything against BJP, won’t see it, and won’t speak about it,” he said adding ED has been searching for money trail in alleged liquor scam for two years, now that money trail is public, why is it still silent?
