Refuting charges of money laundering against Delhi Health Minister Satyendar Jain who was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate on Monday, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said, “we do not tolerate any corruption and will never do”, adding that the case against Jain has no truth and is driven by political reasons.
Delhi minister Satyendar Jain was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Monday in a money laundering case, with his Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) calling it a political move ahead of the Himachal Pradesh Assembly polls.
He was taken into custody under criminal sections of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) after a few hours of questioning and will be produced before a designated court on Tuesday.
The arrest of Satyendar Jain comes days after a minister of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP)-led Punjab government sacked its health minister over corruption charges and was also arrested by the Anti-Corruption Bureau later.
Giving the Punjab example, Kejriwal on Tuesday said, “We do not tolerate any corruption and will never do. In punjab, we took action against a corrupt minister. We do not wait for agencies. I have studied Satyendar Jain’s case, it has no truth. This is all due to political reasons”.
