Kejriwal to Digvijay: Go ahead, lodge an FIR

Team Anna member Arvind Kejriwal on Sunday reacted sharply to the charge levelled by Congress general secretary in-charge of Uttar Pradesh, Digvijay Singh, that he had amassed crores of rupees, asking the Congress leader to have an FIR lodged against him if he felt so instead of making “irresponsible statements.”

“If Digvijay Singh feels I have swindled crores, why doesn't his government register FIR against me and take legal action rather than making irresponsible statements,” Mr. Kejriwal said.

‘Flouted service rules’

Earlier during the day, Mr. Singh said at Azamgarh that the Income Tax Department had served notice on Mr. Kejriwal in 2005 only. He charged the former bureaucrat with not only flouting government service rules but also being involved in politics and collecting “crores” through his non-governmental organisation.
