The Catch Up: 27 March


Listen Later

This is the Catch Up on 3 Things for the Indian Express and I'm Flora Swain.
It’s the 27th of March and here are today's headlines.

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal today contested his arrest and remand by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in a money laundering case related to the now-scrapped excise policy. Senior advocate AM Singhvi, appearing for Kejriwal in the Delhi High Court said that a sitting CM was arrested on the cusp of elections when the Model Code of Conduct is in place and the arrest is impinging on the level playing field.

Meanwhile, India took strong objection to the remarks by a US spokesperson on Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal’s arrest. In a statement, the Ministry of External Affairs said, quote,  "In diplomacy, states are expected to be respectful of the sovereignty and internal affairs of others. This responsibility is even more so in case of fellow democracies. It could otherwise end up setting unhealthy precedents."

The Enforcement Directorate today issued fresh summons to Trinamool Congress leader and ousted Lok Sabha MP Mahua Moitra in connection to a FEMA contravention case. The TMC leader and Businessman Darshan Hiranandani have been asked to appear before the probe agency on the 28th of March. The agency is scrutinising transactions associated with a non-resident external account in this case, along with examining various other foreign remittances and fund transfers.

Union Home Minister Amit Shah has said the Jammu and Kashmir Assembly elections will be held before September and that the Centre will consider revoking the Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act there. In an interview with the local media, Shah said the government plans to withdraw troops from the Union Territory (UT) and leave law and order to the Jammu and Kashmir Police alone.

The Indian Embassy in the US has condoled the “unfortunate accident” in Baltimore where a cargo ship manned by a 22-member Indian crew, struck and demolished a key bridge. The Indian Embassy in the US said in a post on X, quote, “Our heartfelt condolences to all affected by the unfortunate accident at the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore." Unquote. It said that the Embassy has created a dedicated hotline for any Indian citizens who may be affected or require assistance due to the tragedy. The Embassy is ascertaining details regarding the vessel’s crew.
