we have breaking news coming in at the moment in this regards the ED summons to Delhi's chief minister Arun K Shal and he said he said that he's ready to respond to the summons. He says post the 12th of March. He will answer to those summons by the enforcement Directorate and this will be an answer via a video conference. We have colleague Eswar joining us to get us more on this. Sara Arun Kwal has been summoned today. This is his eighth summon. Now he has gone ahead and responded, so basically he's going to be skipping the summons as far as today. The Fourth of March is concerned, but has gone on to say that he will respond to the question by the Enforcement Directorate. But only on the 12th of March. Well, certainly big update coming in as far as enforcement directs it. Summon to Arvin K. JAL is concerned. It is Arvin Kal who had given a reply to the enforcement directorate in writing and stated that any date after 12th of March he would be appearing in front of ID. But he has requested that he, uh if he might appear via video conferencing, that would be great. In fact, it was enforcement directorate earlier who had reached out to the court and stated that it is non compliance of Arvind Kal. He is not responding to the summons that had been received. Although Arvind Kal has called this summon as illegal and baseless, another time has stated that it is the matter which has already reached the court and the matter is sub judice and therefore the reason why such sermons are being served time and again to him. But now your reply has been filed by Arvind Kejriwal to enforcement director that yes, he is ready to answer those questions in regards to the excise policy of 2122. But he would be appearing only after March 12th. So another date has been sought by Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal in this alleged excise policy scam. But certainly a reply has been filed and it is yet another summon that he would be skipping today after previous seven right since November to now, this is his eighth summon. Seven summons have been escaped. This 81 will also be skipped as far as the news that's coming in now that he is short time from only after the 12th of March and that to only via video conferencing. Of course, the Shiv and the Alagni Party have been claiming that this is just a ploy to get him to the office in order to arrest the chief minister of Delhi. So is that why he's sorting dotted in person presence of the chief minister, but a video conferencing as far as those summons are concerned and that he would in fact answer all those questions and those queries a big question also, would he be? Is he being questioned as a witness or as an accused? That is also something on the grounds on which Arun Kwal has been skipping the summons. Well, remember that particular press conference held by SOA BJ ahi and other senior leaders of the Armed Army party, claiming that they have got credible information and inputs from the CB as well that in a few sections he would be summoned by CBI just not by the E and he would get arrested in another few days. But that didn't happen. In fact, it was enforcement directorate who reached out to the Delhi Court and stated that it should. Arvind Keji should come and record his statements, although in the six charge sheet filed by enforcement directorate it has, they have not mentioned Arvind Kejriwal as directly accused in this case. But enforcement director director also stated that it is Arvin Kejriwal who should appear in person as to as to record his statements in regards to proceed with the investigations. So certainly his name was there and it has been also alleged by the ED that the excise policy that was passed was fully convened by him and under his juction such policy was passed. So yes, a direct allegations have been levelled by the Enforcement Directorate and Army Party, claiming that it would be Arvind Keji who will be arrested very soon. Now, Although Arvind Kejriwal has replied to the enforcement director and stated that he might appear via video conferencing requested to the ed and any date after 12th of March, he would be available. But before that he could not because of the ongoing budget session and his hectic schedule as well, so skipping the eight Se eight summit today of the Enforcement directorate, although he had stated that this is illegal. This is baseless as being claimed by among the party leaders in the past as well. But another development coming in as Arvin Kal will not be appearing today on his eighth summit by the Enforcement Directorate.
