Union Law Minister Kiren Rijiju reacted very strongly to Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's threat and warning that he would file appropriate cases against the Enforcement Directorate (ED) and Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI). Rijiju hit out at Kejriwal and asked him if he will also file a case against the court if he is convicted. The law minister said everyone must believe in the rule of law in the country. The minister was reacting to Kejiwal's tweet where he said, "We will file appropriate cases against CBI and ED officials for perjury and producing false evidence in courts."

Forgot to mention that you will file case against Honble court also if it convicts you. Let law takes it own course & we must believe in rule of law.

Earlier, during a press conference, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal alleged that the CBI and ED were torturing people to take his and Manish Sisodia's name in the Delhi liquor policy scam case. 
He said, "CBI, ED filed false affidavits in excise policy case in court; they're torturing people to testify against Manish Sisodia and me.” He also listed the names of some individuals alleging that they were tortured and beaten.

During the press conference, Kejriwal said that the central agencies presented false evidence in court and tried to mislead the court. 

"ED and CBI alleged that Sisodia broke 14 of his mobile phones to destroy evidence, but as per ED's seizure memo, 4 of them are with them while one is with CBI. The rest of the phones are also operational and are being used by different individuals," Kejriwal claimed, adding that the agencies took Rs 100 crore bribe and raided 400 locations but nothing was found. 

The Aam Aadmi Party national convenor said that he knew he would be summoned by CBI "the day I spoke against corruption in Delhi Assembly." "In 75 years, no party has been targeted like AAP. We have given hope to people about good education," he added.

Speaking on the now-withdrawn liquor policy, Kejriwal said it was "excellent" and would have ended corruption. An hour ahead of the press conference, the Bharatiya Janata Party trained guns against the Delhi CM asking what was his relation with liquor contractors and why he was in touch with the accused in the case.
