Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, amidst an Enforcement Directorate (ED) summons related to the Delhi liquor policy case, stands firm on his commitment to a 10-day Vipassana meditation session scheduled from December 19 to 30. AAP leader Raghav Chadha affirms that the Vipassana plans were pre-arranged and legal advice is being sought.

Arvind Kejriwal, a regular practitioner of Vipassana, a traditional Indian meditation technique involving a prolonged period of communication abstinence for mental rejuvenation, has attended various camps across Bengaluru and Jaipur. The yearly 10-day Vipassana course, an integral part of his routine, continues despite the ED's second summon for questioning on December 21.

The ED's summon is linked to a money laundering case related to the now-discarded Delhi liquor policy. Kejriwal, who dismissed the November summons as illegal and politically motivated, faces renewed scrutiny. BJP leader Smriti Irani takes a swipe at Kejriwal, questioning his ability to stay out of jail, citing the incarceration of AAP leaders Satyendar Jain, Manish Sisodia, and Sanjay Singh.

Raghav Chadha, responding to BJP's jibes, accuses them of fearing Kejriwal's influence and attempting to undermine him. He suggests that if AAP leaders join BJP, the cases against them would conveniently disappear.

Kejriwal's unwavering commitment to Vipassana amid legal challenges sparks political debates, with critics questioning the priorities of the Delhi CM. As the ED's inquiry intensifies, the political landscape in Delhi continues to be marked by legal battles and strategic positioning.

Amid the political tumult surrounding Arvind Kejriwal's second Enforcement Directorate (ED) summons, the Delhi Chief Minister's unwavering commitment to the Vipassana meditation camp draws attention. Vipassana, an ancient meditation practice rooted in Indian traditions, requires practitioners to abstain from communication for an extended period, fostering mental clarity and well-being. Kejriwal's consistent adherence to this practice, even in the face of legal challenges, reflects his dedication to maintaining personal equanimity. As the political discourse amplifies around the ED's inquiries and the broader Delhi liquor policy case, Kejriwal's choice to prioritize meditation adds a unique dimension to the unfolding narrative, prompting discussions about the intersection of personal beliefs and political responsibilities in the realm of Indian politics.
