Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal on Tuesday said the case against cabinet minister Satyendar Jain is “farzi (fraud)”, adding that his government “is honest and does not tolerate corruption”. “We have faith in judiciary. This farzi (fake) case won’t last. We are following the path of truth,” Kejriwal told reporters. His remarks came a day after Jain was arrested in a money laundering case.
“I have personally studied this (Satyendar Jain’s arrest by the Enforcement Directorate) case. We neither tolerate corruption nor we do corruption. We have a very honest government. He has been targeted because of political reasons,” Kejriwal said.
The Aam Aadmi Party has further alleged that Jain has been arrested by the central probe agency because he was overseeing the Hiimachal Pradesh poll preparations.
