The Rajya Sabha has been adjourned for the fourth time today following uproar over the CBI raid on Delhi Secretariat.

Condemning the CBI raid on Kejriwal's office, Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia had earlier accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of attempting to stop 'honest politics'.

"Modi is trying to stop honest politics by scaring (us) with CBI raids. People are with the truth, they will not let him succeed," Sisodia tweeted.

He further said that the Centre was trying to instill fear among the officers working under the Delhi Government.

Refuting Kejriwal's allegation on the raid on the Chief Minister's office, the CBI has said that the raid was conducted on the Principal Secretary's office following a warrant.

 

Kejriwal has accused the CBI of 'lying' and asserted that the investigating agency was looking at the files in the Chief Minister's office.
