Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal demands Prime Minister Narendra Modi's resignation

NEW DELHI: Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Tuesday alleged that CBI officials who raided his office last week harassed his secretary, Rajendra Kumar, to know the identity of a whistleblower in the Delhi and District Cricket Association ( DDCA), who had provided the CM with information regarding a secret meeting held by Finance Minister Arun Jaitley with the cricket body’s top officials.

"They were asking Rajendra about the DDCA file. What was there inside the file? There was note inside it," Kejriwal said. And went on to explain the contents of the note inside the contentious secret file: "In that file, it was written that some months ago, Jaitley had called a meeting of all DDCA officers. In that meeting, Jaitley ji said, "Don’t worry about SFIO. It comes under me, I will compound all of them. I will take care of all FIRs under Delhi Police. The police is under us. And if Kejriwal sets up a Commission of Enquiry, then LG is our special man, will get it done null and void."

Speaking in a special session of Delhi Assembly called for passing a resolution to set up a Commission of Enquiry into alleged DDCA scam, Kejriwal went on to the extent of seeking Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s resignation on the issue of CBI raids in his office.
