On ED Naming Atishi And Saurabh Bharadwaj In Court
On Monday, while producing Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal — who was arrested by the ED in the money laundering case linked to the excise policy case — before a court, the central agency claimed that the AAP chief said that one of the accused in the case, Vijay Nair used to report to Atishi and Bharadwaj and not him.
Responding to the development, Atishi said, "Yesterday the ED took Saurabh Bharadwaj and my name in the court, on the basis of a statement which is available with ED and CBI for one and a half years, this statement is in the charge sheet of ED."
She said that the statement was raised because the BJP feels that despite Arvind Kejriwal, Manish Sisodia, Sanjay Singh, and Satyendra Jain being in jail, "the Aam Aadmi Party is still united and strong."
"Now they are planning to put the next line of leadership of the Aam Aadmi Party in jail...," she added.
