NEW DELHI, Jul. 7, 2023 (TBINN)
Delhi’s Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal today accused Bhartiya Janta Party led Centre of defaming Aam Aadmi Party’s leader Manish Sisodia by running fake news of Enforcement Directorate attaching assets worth Rs 52 crore belonging to the jailed A.A.P. leader in the Delhi Excise Policy Case.
Arvind said the Enforcement Directorate has, in fact, attached properties worth Rs 80 lakh of Sisodia and his wife. The E.D. today said it has attached two immovable assets of Manish Sisodia and his wife apart from bank deposits worth Rs 11.49 lakh of the ex-deputy chief minister in the Delhi excise policy-linked money laundering case.
Taking to Twitter, Arvind Kejriwal said in Hindi, “Prime Minister, when you did not find anything against Manish Sisodia, you started defaming him through ED. Your ED is running fake news on TV channels saying that Rs 52 crore worth assets of Manish Sisodia have been attached.” Kejriwal, who is also the AAP national convener, clarified that in reality, Rs 80 lakh worth of assets have been attached. These properties belong to pre-2018 period when the excise policy was not even framed, he said.
He also said that these assets have already been declared.
