Delhi court slams Arvind Kejriwal, summons him in defamation case at 2 pm

A court in Delhi took a strong view on CM Arvind Kejriwal's absence in a defamation case, ordering him to appear before it at 2 pm on Tuesday.

Stating that no reason was given for the absence, the court also summoned Deputy CM Manish Sisodia and Yogendra Yadav in the case. It slammed the trio stating that they had 'no respect for the law.'

Kejriwal, Sisodia and Yadav had sought exemption from personal appearances for the day, citing a lawyers' strike.
