New Delhi: Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal Friday said his life is dedicated to the nation whether he is inside jail or outside jail.
The Enforcement Directorate Friday produced Kejriwal in the Rouse Avenue court here and sought his 10-day custody in an excise policy-linked money laundering case.
“My life is dedicated to the service of the nation whether I am inside or outside (jail),” Kejriwal told TV9 Network while he was being produced in the court.
This was Kejriwal’s first reaction after being arrested by the ED Thursday night.
The Aam Aadmi Party has called his arrest a “political conspiracy” to stop him from campaigning in the Lok Sabha polls.
The party called for a nationwide protest against the BJP in the aftermath of his arrest.
Several leaders of the party, including Delhi cabinet ministers Atishi, Saurabh Bharadwaj, its Lok Sabha candidate from East Delhi Kuldeep Kumar were detained during the protest at ITO.
