Political firestorm over alleged CBI raid on Arvind Kejriwal's office

New Delhi, Dec 15 (IBNS) A war of words broke out in parliament on Tuesday after Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal alleged that his office was raided by the CBI with members of the opposition and treasury benches trading charges against each other.

Wondering whether an "emergency" has been declared, Trinamool Congress Rajya Sabha member Derek O'Brien demanded a clarification from the government.

"CBI raid on Arvind Kejriwal's office is unprecedented in the history of India. Government has to clarify. Emergency has been declared?," he said.

Denying the charge, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Venkaiah Naidu said,: "It has become a fashion with Arvind Kejriwal to blame Centre and drag PM Modi into everything. PM and the government has nothing to do with the CBI. We don't monitor the CBI."

Naidu's comment made reference to Kejriwal's tweets, in which he called the PM a "psychopath."

Protesting, BJP lawmaker Vijender Gupta said : "The language used by Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal for PM of India is highly abominable. In terms of fighting corruption he has only politicised it."

Outside parliament, Delhi's Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia alleged that PM Modi was trying to threaten the Aam Aadmi Party with CBI raids. " He won't succeed... People are with the truth," Sisodia said.

Commenting on the development, the CPI(M) said : "This raid is a new low in the Modi Government's encroachment on the rights and dignity of non-BJP elected governments."
