'Campaigning not fundamental right': ED opposes bail for Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal
In its affidavit, ED said SC, while rejecting bail to another excise case accused, former Delhi deputy CM Manish Sisodia, had said, "Rule of law means that laws apply equally to all citizens, including the state. Rule of law also mandates objective and fair treatment to all." ED said campaigning for a party was neither a fundamental nor a constitutional right and not even a legal right. A person in custody has no right to even cast his/her vote, it said, adding that the agency did not know of any instance of a political leader being granted interim bail for campaigning even though not contesting elections.
