NEW DELHI: India has expressed its displeasure to Germany over the remarks related to the arrest of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal. The Ministry of External Affairs has said that it should not interfere in internal affairs and knows well how to implement the law.

'The German Deputy Chief of Mission in New Delhi was summoned today and conveyed India's strong protest on their Foreign Office Spokesperson's comments on our internal affairs. We see such remarks as interfering in our judicial process and undermining the independence of our judiciary.

India is a vibrant and robust democracy with rule of law. As in all legal cases in the country, and elsewhere in the democratic world, law will take its own course in the instant matter. "Biased assumptions made on this account are most unwarranted," the Ministry of External Affairs said in a press release.

The Deputy Director of the German Mission has been summoned. India's reaction comes after a video of the German Foreign Ministry expressing concern over Arvind Kejriwal's arrest went viral.

The German Foreign Ministry's spokesperson had said that "Like anyone facing accusations, Mr Kejriwal is entitled to a fair and impartial trial, this includes he can make use of all available legal avenues without restrictions. The presumption of innocence is a central element of the rule of law and must apply to him"

Arvind Kejriwal was arrested by the ED on Thursday night in the liquor policy scam case. Kejriwal ignored nine summonses to appear for questioning in the case. He had approached the High Court seeking protection from arrest. He was arrested after the plea was rejected. Yesterday, the trial court sent Kejriwal to ED custody for six days. ED asked for 10 days of custody but was allowed custody for 6 days.
