Continuing her attack on AAP convener and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, Union minister Smriti Irani, on Wednesday, sought to know if the Delhi CM still thinks Satyendar Jain, arrested by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in a money laundering case, is innocent.
"I asked 10 questions to Kejriwal on June 1, but he didn't answer any of them. ED seized around Rs 2.80 crore cash and 133 gold coins weighing above 1 kg from Jain's aides. Does he (Kejriwal) still think that Jain is innocent," news agency ANI quoted the Union minister as saying.
“I want to ask Kejriwal, did he check Delhi High Court's order which stated that Jain had gathered Rs 16 crore through shell companies and hawala operators.”
A few days ago, Irani had asked a series of questions to Kejriwal about his stance on allegations against Jain, and sought to know on what grounds the Delhi CM gave a clean chit to his minister. She said the country was still waiting for a reply on the matter from him.
Kejriwal had said he failed to understand the politics behind arrest of Jain, adding that some people claimed it was due to upcoming Himachal Pradesh polls and a revenge for AAP's massive victory in Punjab assembly elections.
