A day after he attended the Opposition INDIA alliance meeting, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Wednesday left for a 10-day Vipassana meditation retreat, and is likely to skip the ED summons sent to him.
The Enforcement Directorate on Monday issued fresh summons to Kejirwal for questioning on December 21 in the excise policy-linked money laundering case. Kejriwal was first called by the ED to appear on November 2, but skipped the summons alleging that the notice was “vague, motivated and unsustainable in law”.
Kejriwal was scheduled to leave for the Vipassana course on Tuesday but could not do so as he was busy with the INDIA bloc meeting, officials said. He left around 1.30 pm on Wednesday for the pre-scheduled meditation course, they added. The pre-scheduled Vipassana programme will continue until December 30.
According to sources, Kejriwal would remain in the camp in Anandgarh village of Punjab’s Hoshiarpur district till December 30 and remain completely cut off from his political life.
