Claiming that the seizure made by the Central Bureau of Investigation proves that Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's office was raided on Tuesday, the Aam Aadmi Party on Wednesday sought privilege motion against Union minister Arun Jaitley and the government for 'misleading' Parliament over the issue.

AAP leader Ashutosh alleged that Jaitley lied on the floor of the House and this warrants a privilege motion against him and the government.

'Since Jaitley has lied on the floor of the House and misled Parliament, this warrants privilege motion against him and the government. Seizure memo of the CBI is in public. It establishes that the CM's Office was raided/CM's files were searched,' Ashutosh tweeted.

Training guns on Jaitley, Ashutosh said the Union finance minister should come clean on the alleged irregularities in the Delhi and District Cricket Association.

The AAP's claims of raid on the Delhi secretariat were no more about the DDCA irregularities which the Delhi government intends to probe, he said.

'Mr Jaitley, why don't you let the CBI investigate the DDCA scam? Why are you hiding behind technicalities? Mr Jaitley, come clean on DDCA! Whole world knows it is a den of corruption and you have been presiding for too long!! What is there in the DDCA file that Mr Jaitley wants to hide from the world for which he sent the CBI to the CM's Office to grab that file?' Ashutosh tweeted.

Kejriwal also made fresh allegations against the CBI, accusing it of seizing documents 'unrelated' to the agency's probe against his principal secretary and claimed that a file relating to DDCA was scrutinised by it.
