The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Friday (September 13) lauded the Supreme Court's verdict on Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's plea seeking bail in the excise policy case, and said that "truth can be troubled but not defeated". The apex court granted bail to Kejriwal in the CBI case related to the alleged liquor scam.
Arvind Kejriwal's wife, Sunita Kejriwal, congratulated the "AAP family" for "staying strong" and hoped for the release of other leaders at the soonest."Congratulations to AAP family! Kudos for staying strong. Wishing also the soonest release of our other leaders," she posted on X.
"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 the Honorable Supreme Court," AAP MP Raghav Chadha posted on X.
Former Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia, who was also granted bail by the top court in the same case recently, said, "Today, once again, truth has triumphed in the fight against lies and conspiracies. I bow once again to the vision and foresight of Baba Saheb Ambedkar, who, 75 years ago, empowered the common man to stand strong against any future dictator." Speaking to the media, Sisodia described Kejriwal as "true, honest and patriot" and said said the prayers of the people were answered.
