New Delhi [India], August 5 : After the Delhi High Court dismissed Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal's plea challenging his arrest by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) in the Excise Policy case, BJP MP Ramvir Singh Bidhuri on Monday said that in such kinds of cases, the final decision has to be taken by the court.
"In these kinds of cases, the final decision has to be taken by the court only. They have every right to approach the Supreme Court...When the Delhi Excise policy was introduced in the State Assembly, I was the leader of the opposition and had asked Arvind Kejriwal to withdraw the policy...Many leaders of AAP also agree that If they had accepted my demand, today they would not be facing such a situation," Bidhuri said.
The Bharatiya Janata Party has also demanded Kejriwal's resignation while the AAP Legal Cell head said they would approach the Supreme Court to challenge the HC decision.
BJP MP Bansuri Swaraj said that Arvind Kejriwal has no moral reason to continue as Delhi CM and should resign.
"Delhi High Court has again said that Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal was involved in receiving kickbacks in the Delhi Excise policy. Delhi HC has again said that his arrest is legal and that central agencies have adequate material to arrest him. Arvind Kejriwal has no moral reason to continue as Delhi CM and he should resign," Swaraj said.
Delhi BJP president Virendraa Sachdeva called Kejriwal a "facilitator" of the Delhi Excise Policy Scam and welcomed the verdict of the Delhi HC.
"Arvind Kejriwal is the facilitator of the Delhi Excise Policy scam. We welcome the verdict of the Delhi High Court...We hope that all the accused in the scam will be behind bars. We demand that Arvind Kejriwal should resign," Sachdeva said.
Meanwhile, AAP Legal Cell head Sanjeev Nasiar expressed his disagreement with the Delhi HC's verdict and said that they'll approach the Supreme Court.
"We don't agree with the decision of Delhi High Court...This is a fight to save the Constitution...We will approach the Supreme Court and avail all the remedies...We will surely emerge victorious in this fight," Nasiar said.
The Delhi HC dismissed Kejriwal's plea challenging his arrest by the CBI in the Excise Policy matter. The court stated that it cannot be said that the arrest of Arvind Kejriwal was without justifiable reason. Regarding the bail application, the court has disposed of it, granting Kejriwal the option to approach the trial court for further relief.
