A tweet from 2012 purportedly by Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal is viral on social media. In it, he calls for the resignation of ‘corrupt leaders’ who do not appear before ED and CBI even after multiple summons. This is in the backdrop of the Enforcement Directorate issuing<\/a> a fresh summons to Kejriwal in the probe into the money laundering allegations against him in connection with the Delhi excise policy case. He had declined to appear before the federal agency on two earlier summons on November 2 and December 21.<\/p>\n

Union minister and BJP MP from Arunachal (West) Kiren Rijiju tweeted the screenshot and sarcastically wrote, “I agree 100% with Arvind Kejriwal Ji.”. (Archive<\/a>)<\/p>\n

Delhi BJP President Virendraa Sachdeva referred to the purported tweet in a byte to the Press Trust of India. He said, “…On November 24, 2012, he wrote on social media that politicians should resign once they get a summon from ED or CBI. However, to avoid the summon, he has gone for ‘Vipassana'”.
