New Delhi [India], June 21 (ANI): After Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) chief Arvind Kejriwal was granted bail in an alleged excise policy case, leaders of opposition parties called it “long overdue.”
In a post on X, Rajya Sabha MP Kapil Sibal said, “Congratulations. Kejriwal gets bail. Long overdue. From the prosecutions standpoint now that elections are over no need to keep him in jail! The justice delivery system has been unfair !”
Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav referred it as the “victory of truth.”
“The bail of Delhi’s popular Chief Minister Shri Arvind Kejriwal ji is another victory of truth. The power and unity of the ‘India Alliance’ is going to liberate the people of India from the painful rule of BJP. Very soon India will form a coalition government,” the SP chief said.
Akhilesh Yadav alleged that the statements by the Directorate of Enforcement are based on lies.
“At such a time, Arvind Kejriwal’s release from jail will strengthen democracy. This is good news for the country and the people of Delhi. ED’s statements so far are based on lies. This is a baseless fake case created to implicate Kejriwal ji. #ArvindKejriwal #AAP #Delhi,” he said in a post on X.
Congress leader Manish Tiwari, in a post on X, said, “Gratifying to note that @ArvindKejriwal Ji has been granted bail by the Rouse Avenue court. Hope he is able to resume his responsibilities at the earliest.”
Punjab Minister and AAP leader Kuldeep Dhaliwal said, “Truth has won, Indian democracy has won and the forces that save democracy have won. Today the court has done great justice in the fake case filed by the BJP against Arvind Kejriwal. Today the entire countrymen have won.”
Vacation judge Nyay Bindu of Delhi’s Rouse Avenue court on Thursday granted bail to Arvind Kejriwal on furnishing bail bond of Rs 1 lakh. However, the ED opposed the bail application.
The court refused the request of ED to postpone the process of filing of bail bond for 48 hours. ED requested the postponement so that they could avail their legal remedy to challenge the order at the High Court. The court has also said that the bail order has not been stayed. (ANI)
