Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Friday (July 12) hailed the Supreme Court decision to grant interim bail to Delhi Chief Minister on his plea challenging arrest by the ED in the alleged liquor scam case. A bench headed by Justice Sanjiv Khanna pronounced the judgement and referred Kejriwal's petition challenging his arrest by the ED to a larger bench.
AAP holds press conference after verdict
Delhi Minister Atishi, along with Saurabh Bharadwaj, held a press conference and slammed the BJP for "hatching a conspiracy" against the AAP. The ruling party asked the saffron party why Kejriwal was arrested by the CBI and asked it to "end its arrogance".
"BJP knew that he (Arvind Kejriwal) has been granted bail by the Rouse Avenue Court, they know that he will get bail by the Supreme Court too. That is why, they hatched another conspiracy and the day on which the bail hearing was scheduled to come up before the Supreme Court, they made CBI arrest Arvind Kejriwal a day before that. Why was he arrested by the CBI? Because if he received bail in ED case, he would come out of jail and work for the people of Delhi 10 times faster... I would like to tell the BJP today, one after the other - every court in this country has exposed your conspiracy... every court is granting bail to Arvind Kejriwal. I would like to tell BJP, end your arrogance and stop hatching conspiracy against other parties. Truth can be troubled but not defeated..." she said.
AAP National General Secretary Organisation and MP Sandeep Pathak said, "This is definitely a relief... When they can't stop this party, they jail all the leaders of the party. So, in such a situation, the Supreme Court order is very soothing. I believe that party is not important, the country is. It is very important in the national interest, that a dictator doesn't attempt to finish off a party like this. So, such decisions should be written in golden letters in the history of the country..."
