Congress member Pramod Tiwari responded to the Supreme Court's decision to grant bail to Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Manish Sisodia in the money laundering case related to Delhi's excise policy scam.
Speaking to ANI on Saturday, Tiwari stated, "It has been established that Chief Ministers, Union Ministers, and Ministers should not be arrested unless absolutely necessary. The Supreme Court has reiterated that bail is the rule, and jail is the exception." He added, "The government should only arrest ministers after filing a charge sheet and having substantial proof. It is concerning that the government is now misusing central agencies against the opposition, which is wrong." Earlier today, AAP member Gurmeet Singh Meet Hayer congratulated Manish Sisodia after the Supreme Court granted him bail. Hayer expressed happiness over Sisodia's release, emphasising that it came after a prolonged period of time. He praised Sisodia for his relentless efforts in improving education for Delhi's children, elevating the issue to national prominence. Speaking to ANI, Hayer said, "This is a very happy moment for AAP as Manish Sisodia has been granted bail after 17 months. He has worked tirelessly to provide education to children and has made it a national issue." He continued, "Today, his truth has prevailed. The entire country, along with AAP supporters who know his reality, are celebrating. We are hopeful that in the coming days, Arvind Kejriwal will also return from jail, and AAP will continue serving the people as before." (ANI)
