Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann on Friday welcomed the Delhi court’s decision to discharge AAP chief and former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and his former deputy Manish Sisodia in the excise policy case. He said this shows that truth always wins.
A Delhi court discharged Kejriwal and Sisodia in the excise policy case and refused to take cognisance of the chargesheet filed by the Central Bureau of Investigation. Along with them, 21 other people were also discharged in the case.
In a post on X, the Punjab Chief Minister wrote, “Truth always triumphs. AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal ji and Delhi’s former Deputy CM Manish Sisodia ji have been acquitted by the Hon’ble Delhi Court in the liquor scam case. This decision brings the truth to light. Over time, the truth in other cases will also be revealed.”
Punjab AAP president and cabinet minister Aman Arora also welcomed the court’s verdict. He accused the BJP-led Central government of misusing agencies to target AAP.
"As the saying goes 'Justice can be delayed but not denied' @ArvindKejriwal ji @ @msisodia ji & all others has been acquitted & discharged from a false, fabricated, bundle of lies so-called liquor scam case of Delhi by the Honorable Court has once again proved that BJP-led Central Govt agencies did all this to defame & damage @AamAadmiParty's politics of honesty. People of the country will give a befitting reply to the conspirators in days to come," said Arora on X.
