Manish Sisodia’s Bail: Manish Sisodia, who has been in jail for 17 months in the Delhi liquor policy case, has finally received bail from the Supreme Court. When Delhi Education Minister and AAP leader Atishi heard the news, she became emotional and cried. She was attending a public event at the time.
Atishi’s Reaction: Atishi said that today is a victory for truth and for Delhi’s students. Sisodia was imprisoned because he worked to provide good education to poor children. AAP leaders have described the Supreme Court’s decision as a victory for truth. The Supreme Court stated that keeping someone in jail for such a long time without a conviction mocks justice.
Atishi’s Statement: She mentioned that Sisodia was trapped in a false case and had provided a bright future for Delhi’s children. She expressed happiness over his bail and hoped that soon Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal would also be released.
Other Reactions:
– Gopal Rai: Delhi government minister Gopal Rai said that it is a happy day for Delhi and the country. He praised Sisodia for setting an example in education reform, despite being jailed without evidence for 17 months. He declared that truth has won today.
– Swati Maliwal: Rajya Sabha MP Swati Maliwal expressed her happiness that Sisodia received bail and hoped he would lead the Delhi government effectively.
BJP’s Response: Delhi BJP President Virendra Sachdeva commented that bail does not mean the accused is not guilty. Although Sisodia is out on bail, the investigation is still ongoing. He criticized those who are celebrating now, noting their previous lack of respect for court decisions. Sachdeva asserted that all those involved in the liquor policy scam will be found guilty once the investigation is complete.
