But CM Kejriwal exposed it,” AAP leader Atishi said.
“I want to tell the PM that none of the leaders of our party is going to be afraid of your threats. We were born to fight corruption. You may hang us, but we are not afraid of you,” she added.
"He (Arvind Kejriwal) should stop giving himself certificate of being staunch honest. If the CBI has summoned you, then you will have to answer them," says BJP spokesperson Harish Khurana on CBI summon to Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal in excise policy scam case.
“These people will do everything to suppress the corruption of PM Narendra Modi. To keep his political power intact, PM Modi and his government has hatched this conspiracy. CM Arvind Kejriwal will appear before CBI on Sunday,” party leader Sanjay Singh said.

The conspiracy hatched by you to arrest, jail and take action against Arvind Kejriwal on 16th April will not stifle his voice: AAP MP Sanjay Singh
Hello and welcome to our live blog. A political crisis is looming with Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal being summoned by CBI in connection with the now-withdrawn liquor policy case on April 16. Kejriwal has been summoned by the CBI at 11 am on Sunday at the agency's headquarters in Delhi.
Background
Hello and welcome to our live blog. Follow this blog for all the latest updates on Arvind Kejriwal being summoned by CBI in connection with the now-withdrawn liquor policy case.
The CBI will question Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal in connection with the now-withdrawn liquor policy case on April 16. Kejriwal has been summoned by the CBI at 11 am on Sunday at the agency's headquarters in Delhi.
BJP leader Kapil Mishra said Kejriwal was summoned by CBI after those accused in the liquor 'scam' confessed to giving money after talking to the AAP leader on Facetime.
AAP leader and former Delhi deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia has already been arrested by the CBI in the case. Sisodia has also been arrested by the Enforcement Directorate in a money laundering related to the alleged excise scam.
The CBI has alleged that the Delhi government's excise policy for 2021-22 to grant licences to liquor traders favoured certain dealers who had allegedly paid bribes for it, an accusation strongly refuted by the AAP. The policy was later scrapped.
Earlier in the day, Kejriwal accused the ED of "misleading" the court with false evidence in the excise policy case while replying to the agency's charge that Sisodia destroyed his mobile phones.
"The ED is taking false statements by torturing people and pressuring them. Even in the case of Sanjay Singh, it has come to the fore that the accused gave a different statement and the ED has written something else in the charge sheet," PTI quoted Kejriwal as saying.
The AAP leader said many of those phones were in ED's custody and claimed the whole matter was fabricated.
"The ED is misleading the court with false evidence, torturing people, taking false statements. There is nothing in this whole matter, the whole matter is fabricated and is based on false evidence. This is not a good thing," he said.
