Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has decided to skip the Enforcement Directorate's 8th summons related to the liquor policy case, scheduled for today. He has, however, expressed his readiness to answer the probe agency's questions through video conferencing after March 12. This stance has sparked reactions from political figures, with a BJP spokesperson accusing Kejriwal of avoiding the summons and saying this means 'chor ki muuch mein tinka'. Meanwhile, Delhi Minister Saurabh Bhardwaj defended the decision, arguing that if lawyers can appear before the Supreme Court via video conferencing, the same should be possible for Kejriwal's appearance before the ED.
