GG News Bureau

New Delhi, 6^th June. Smriti Irani, Union Minister of Women and Child Development, hit out at Delhi Chief Minister and AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal for “ducking” her series of questions regarding Delhi Minister Satyendar Jain who was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate in a money laundering case, while citing the order of the High Court that stayed a special court’s order allowing Satyendar Jain to have advocate during the questioning.

Smriti Irani added one more question to the set of 10 questions that she had put forward to Arvind Kejriwal in a press conference earlier this month.

The Union Minister, earlier this week, had presented a set of 10 questions to the Aam Aadmi Party chief hitting out over the arrest of Satyendar Jain after the latter was remanded to the Enforcement Directorate (ED) custody till June 9.

Taking to Twitter, Irani termed the AAP leaders defending the Delhi Minister a “saga of lies”.

“Saga of AAP’s lies continues! Delhi HC has accepted ED’s argument that Satyendar Jain who is accused of money laundering under PMLA must be denied his lawyer’s presence during custodial interrogation. As Kejriwal Ji continues to duck 10 pointed questions, here’s 1 more question,” Irani tweeted.

“Would Kejriwal Ji answer if it is true that ED has started its investigation under PML Act as a sequel to 24 August 2017 CBI FIR & 03.12.18 charge sheet filed by the CBI which has found evidence of disproportionate assets against Satyendra Jain under Prevention of Corruption Act?” the Union Minister added in her tweet.

The BJP leader further asked for clarification from the Delhi CM Kejriwal that if the ED has arrested Satyendar Jain on the basis of the IO’s position that the Delhi Minister is guilty of the offence of money laundering which has been approved by the Special court while remanding him?

“Response is awaited, Kejriwal Ji!” Smriti Irani tweeted.

Earlier on Wednesday, addressing a press conference, the Union Minister said, “Arvind Kejriwal presumed the role of a judge and gave him a clean chit. I want to ask Arvind Kejriwal a few questions. My first question is, can Kejriwal deny that Satyendar Jain laundered Rs 16.39 crore using 56 shell companies with the support of hawala operators in Kolkata from 2010-11 to 2015-16?”
