Punjab Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi stated today that he will file a defamation case against AAP leader Arvind Kejirwal, who has referred to him as a dishonest guy after the Enforcement Directorate raided a number of locations, including the Congress politician’s nephew’s home.
Mr Channi claimed that Arvind Kejriwal has a tendency of making false claims in order to smear people’ reputations, and that he had to apologise to BJP leaders Nitin Gadkari, late Arun Jaitley, and Shiromani Akali Dal leader Bikram Singh Majithia in the past.

He said in his Chamkaur Sahib seat that Mr Kejriwal has now gone beyond all lines, and that he has asked his party for permission to initiate a defamation case against the AAP leader.
Following the Enforcement Directorate raids, opposition parties, particularly the AAP, have intensified their attacks on Mr Channi and the Congress.
Earlier in the day, Mr. Kejriwal predicted that Mr Channi would lose his Chamkaur Sahib seat in the next assembly elections, adding that people were startled to see crores of rupees seized from Mr Channi’s nephew’s home.
Since the Enforcement Directorate raided a number of locations, including Mr Channi’s nephew’s home, the Aam Aadmi Party has been criticising him.

Mr Channi is not a regular guy, but a “dishonest man,” Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal claimed on Wednesday as he tried to trap the Congress leader over the ED raids.
ED claimed on Wednesday that during raids conducted in connection with an anti-money laundering investigation into illicit sand-mining operations in the poll-bound state, it confiscated cash totaling over 10 crore, including about 8 crore from a relative of Mr Channi.
