What about those inducting criminals in their party, Kejriwal retaliates to Shah’s ‘can PM, CM run office from jail’ 

“Under a political conspiracy, when the central government framed me in a false case and sent me to jail, I ran the government for 160 days from jail”: Kejriwal; politics intensifies on ‘criminal netas bill’

Hitting back at Home Minister Amit Shah (who is believed to have designed the ‘criminal netas bill’ while also keeping his case in mind) Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Arvind Kejriwal on Monday questioned if those who frame others in false cases and are acquitted later would also face the same action.F Taking a sharp jibe Shah and Prime Minister Narendra Modi for inducting opposition leaders facing serious corruption charges, Kejriwal wrote in Hindi on X, “the person who accepts leaders accused of serious crimes, clears the cases against them and makes them minister, Deputy Chief Minister or Chief Minister, should such a minister/Prime Minister also not resign from his position? How many years of imprisonment should such a person face? “If someone is falsely implicated in a case, sent to jail and later acquitted, how many years of imprisonment should the minister who falsely implicated him face?” he wrote “Under a political conspiracy, when the central government framed me in a false case and sent me to jail, I ran the government for 160 days from jail,” Kejriwal also said Kejriwal was responding to Shah defending the proposed law to remove ministers accused of serious offences if they are jailed for more than a month in an interview with a news agency. According to a statement posted by the Home Ministry, Shah asked if a Prime Minister, a Chief Minister, or a minister should be allowed to work if he is jailed in a serious case. “I want to ask the entire nation and the Opposition, can a Chief Minister, Prime Minister, or any leader run the country from jail? Does that suit the dignity of our democracy? “It is an insult to the country’s democracy that a Prime Minister, Minister and Chief Minister run the government from jail. It does not suit our democracy that the Secretary and Chief Secretary of the Government go to jail for orders from the Prime Minister, Chief Minister and Minister. My party and I completely reject the idea that this country cannot be governed without the person who is sitting in jail,” he said There have been instances where a Chief Minister and a state minister did not resign despite their arrest in criminal cases.
