Arvind Kejriwal News: The Delhi High Court will on Wednesday, March 27, hear a petition by Arvind Kejriwal challenging his arrest by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in a money-laundering case linked to the alleged excise policy scam.
Kejriwal’s petition seeking immediate release on account of the arrest and the subsequent remand to ED being “illegal” is listed for hearing before Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma of the Delhi High Court at 10.30 am.
On Tuesday, two days days after his first order, Delhi chief minister Kejriwal issued a new order from ED custody to Health Minister Saurabh Bharadwaj to address shortage of medicines and diagnostic tests at mohalla clinics and hospitals in the city.
“Irrespective of whether he is in or out, whenever an underprivileged person goes to a government hospital to get medicines, he/she should get it. A middle class person can buy medicines, but lakhs of underprivileged families in Delhi are completely dependent on government hospitals and Mohalla clinics for medicines. Some of these medicines need to be taken lifelong,” Bharadwaj, in charge of health portfolio, said at a press meeting.
