Arvind Kejriwal Opts for Vipassana Over ED Summons, Embarks on 10-Day Meditation Retreat

New Delhi: Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal is set to embark on a 10-day Vipassana meditation retreat, concurrently sidestepping a second summons from the Enforcement Directorate in connection to the excise policy-linked money laundering case. The fresh summons, slated for December 21, coincided with Kejriwal’s pre-scheduled meditation program, spanning from December 19 to December 30.

Questioning the timing of the Enforcement Directorate’s summons, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) asserted that their legal team is scrutinizing the notice, and they will take “legally correct” measures in response. AAP leaders emphasized that Kejriwal’s Vipassana session was publicly disclosed and part of his routine, dismissing any untoward implications.

“Lawyers are reviewing the ED’s notice, and appropriate, legally sound actions will be taken,” stated the AAP, assuring a comprehensive reply from their legal team. AAP MP Raghav Chadha reiterated that Kejriwal’s Vipassana attendance was a well-known, pre-scheduled commitment, emphasizing its routine nature and public awareness.
