New Delhi: Ahead of appearing before the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in the alleged liquor scam case, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Thursday dubbed his summons “illegal and politically motivated”.

‘The summons is illegal and politically motivated’ sent at the behest of the BJP, he said.

“Notice was sent to ensure that I am unable to go for election campaigning in four states. ED should withdraw the notice immediately,” the AAP leader and Delhi CM asserted.

His remarks came ahead of his appearance before the ED in connection with the now-scrapped excise policy. As per ED, Kejriwal has to appear before ED today. The summon was issued to him that day when SC rejected Bail plea of former deputy CM Manish Sisodia.

Kejriwal is scheduled to appear before the ED during the day for questioning in the case, in which AAP leaders Manish Sisodia and Sanjay Singh have already been arrested.
