Kejriwal skips 'illegal' ED summons, will be in Madhya Pradesh instead

Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal will not attend the ED summons on Thursday and will instead be in poll-bound Madhya Pradesh holding a roadshow along with Punjab chief minister Bhagwant Mann, news agency ANI reported. The confirmation comes from AAP sources cited by news agencies ANI, PTI as Kejriwal shot a scathing letter to ED calling its notice 'illegal' and 'politically motivated'. ED issued the summons notice to Kejriwal on October 30 asking him to be present at the ED headquarters on November 2, 11am. While his party reacted to the summons, Kejriwal did not issue any statement on whether he would attend it or not. A day before, AAP leaders said that they had information that Kejriwal would be arrested. In case of Kejriwal's arrest, the government and the party will run from jail, AAP leader Saurabh Bharadwaj said.
