Supreme Court Grants Bail to Arvind Kejriwal
AAP Demands Amit Shah’s Resignation
New Delhi, India – On September 13, the Supreme Court granted bail to Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal in a corruption case related to the alleged excise policy scam. Following this decision, Delhi minister Atishi accused the BJP-led central government of harassing the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and called for the resignation of Union Home Minister Amit Shah.
Atishi stated, “The BJP’s central government and its agencies have left no stone unturned in harassing AAP in the last two years. Today, the Central Ministers, especially Home Minister Amit Shah, should drown in a handful of water. Today the court has confirmed that CBI is a political pawn. Today we demand that Amit Shah should resign.”
During a press conference, AAP leader Saurabh Bharadwaj echoed Atishi’s sentiments, noting that the Supreme Court referred to the CBI as a “caged parrot” and emphasized the need for the agency to appear unbiased. Bharadwaj added, “All the accused under trial in the so-called excise case, except one, have now got bail. The comment made by the Supreme Court is the same thing that we have been saying all along. The court has basically said that 22 months ago, the CBI had questioned Kejriwal but arrested him after 22 months because they thought that Arvind Kejriwal could be released now.”
Former Deputy Chief Minister of Delhi and AAP leader Manish Sisodia also criticized the BJP, alleging that Kejriwal’s arrest was part of a “premeditated conspiracy.” Sisodia remarked, “The bail granted by the Supreme Court to Arvind Kejriwal is important in several ways. First of all, this is a matter of relief and joy for AAP, the Delhi government, and our families that our political guru Arvind Kejriwal, will come out of jail despite several conspiracies of the BJP. The SC has given a message to the BJP that they have to stop their dictatorship. The SC has said that the BJP is misusing the agencies and has made them their caged parrot.”
