New Delhi: Escalating his attack on the Central government over CBI raids, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal today claimed that the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has been directed to go after all Opposition parties and finish those who don't fall in line.
"A CBI officer told me yesterday that CBI has been asked to target all opposition parties and finish those who don't fall in line," the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) chief tweeted this morning.
The ruling Aam Aadmi Party in Delhi has alleged that the CBI raids at Kejriwal's Principal Secretary office, Rajendra Kumar, on Tuesday was aimed at searching files related to DDCA, which Finance Minister Arun Jaitley headed for 13 years till 2013.
Yesterday, the AAP and BJP were locked in a bitter war with Kejriwal seeking Jaitley's resignation for corruption and the latter accusing the AAP leader of spreading untruth and falsehood.
While Kejriwal said the Union Minister must resign or should be sacked, the BJP and the Central government said that he won't be resigning as he had done nothing wrong.
Replying to Kejriwal's allegations, the BJP veteran said that charges levelled against him by the AAP and also the Congress regarding the Delhi and District Cricket Association (DDCA) are baseless.
"Free speech is unquestionably a pre-eminent fundamental right, but does free speech include the right to speak only falsehood? Kejriwal seems to believe in untruth and defamation, delivered in a language that borders on hysteria," he said in a Facebook post.
"It is a part of propaganda technique to deflect attention when you yourselves are in the dock. Finding himself acting as a shield to cover an officer under investigation, the Delhi chief minister has attempted to focus attention on me," Jaitley's FB post reads further.
