Lashing out at Aam Aadmi Party convener and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal after being granted bail by the Supreme Court, Delhi BJP chief Virendraa Sachdeva said that he should resign immediately if left with any morality and that he and AAP have no moral character.
"We urge that if he has any morality left, he should resign immediately...Arvind Kejriwal and the AAP have no moral character. They are far away from the true sense of 'Satyameva Jayate'...The Supreme Court too says that the arrest was legal. Despite that, if you say 'Satyameva Jayate'--aisa ' 'Satyameva' aapko Mubarak," said the Delhi BJP chief. "...Bail has been granted to Arvind Kejriwal today. I would like to say that AAP has become 'jamanati club' and Arvind Kejriwal is welcome there. The Supreme Court has made very serious observations, it said that Arvind Kejriwal's arrest was legal and if it was legal then the court is satisfied with the facts and evidence into excise policy scam that were presented by investigation agencies before the court. Bail does not mean acquittal, it is a court procedure and everyone gets bail - the biggest example being Lalu Yadav...Arvind Kejriwal too is not an exception. Things are before the court, I think the day he is convicted, Kejriwal and his aides will be punished," he added. The Supreme Court on Friday granted bail to Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal in a corruption case registered by CBI in the alleged excise policy scam. The Supreme Court said prolonged incarceration amounts to unjust deprivation of liberty. Earlier, the apex court had reserved the verdict on September 5 after hearing counsels representing Kejriwal and CBI. Kejriwal was arrested by the ED on March 21, 2024, in connection with a money laundering probe relating to alleged irregularities in the now-cancelled Delhi excise policy 2021-22. On June 26, 2024, AAP Chief Arvind Kejriwal was arrested by CBI while he was in custody of the Enforcement Directorate in the excise case. (ANI)
