Arvind Kejriwal will continue as the Delhi chief minister, the AAP said soon after his arrest by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Thursday evening in an excise policy-linked money-laundering case.
The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) also alleged that the ED has become a “political tool” of the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) at the Centre.
Kejriwal’s arrest, the first of a sitting chief minister, came hours after the Delhi High Court refused to grant protection to the AAP national convenor from any coercive action by the agency.
