Supreme Court Grants Bail to Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal in Excise Policy Case
Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has been granted bail by the Supreme Court in the excise policy case. Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) National General Secretary Sandeep Pathak expressed that this is a significant day for the nation and a victory for truth. Speaking to the media, Pathak said, “This is a huge day, not just for the party, but for the whole nation and every person who has faith in the republic and judicial process… This is the victory of the truth and I hope this remains the same in the future also. We welcome the court’s decision.”
Pathak emphasized the importance of the judiciary and its verdicts in maintaining public faith despite political challenges. He added, “For our country, the way the judiciary gives verdicts must create some faith in the minds of the people of the country, despite how dirty politics becomes. The judiciary is above the board… It’s not about just one man or one party; it’s about the country and it’s a historic day for the country.”
Following the verdict, AAP MP Raghav Chadha welcomed the decision, stating, “Welcome back, Arvind Kejriwal, we missed you! Truth can be troubled but not defeated! Finally, the Honourable Supreme Court has given its decision to release Delhi’s son, Arvind Kejriwal, from the shackles of jail. Thanks to Honorable Supreme Court!”
Former Deputy Chief Minister of Delhi and AAP leader Manish Sisodia also welcomed the decision, saying, “Today once again, truth has won in the fight against lies and conspiracies. I once again pay my tribute to the thinking and foresight of Baba Saheb Ambedkar ji, who 75 years ago had strengthened the common man against any future dictator.”
