On a sunny Saturday morning in New Delhi, AAP leader and former deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia stepped out of his home to offer prayers at the Hanuman temple in Connaught Place. It was a significant day for Sisodia as he had just been released from jail the previous day in the Delhi excise policy case.
The Supreme Court had granted him bail in the corruption and money laundering cases related to the alleged excise policy "scam". The court also recognized the injustice of keeping Sisodia imprisoned for 17 months without a fair trial, depriving him of his right to speedy justice. Accompanied by Aam Aadmi Party leaders, including MP Sanjay Singh and ministers Atishi and Saurabh Bharadwaj, Sisodia arrived at the temple where a large number of party workers had gathered to greet him.
As Sisodia entered the temple premises, the air was filled with chants of "Jai Sri Ram" and "Jai Hanuman". He offered his prayers and sought the blessings of Lord Hanuman for the people of Delhi. AAP MP Singh also expressed his hope that Delhi Chief Minister and party supremo Arvind Kejriwal, who is also in jail, will be released soon. He emphasized that the politics of hatred and revenge will not lead to any positive outcome.
After the temple visit, Sisodia made his way to Rajghat and then to the Aam Aadmi Party headquarters at DDU Marg. The party headquarters had heavy police presence since the morning, anticipating Sisodia's arrival. He addressed party leaders, workers, and media personnel and expressed his gratitude for being granted bail. He also stated that he believes in the power of the Constitution and is confident that it will ensure the release of his party leader, Kejriwal.
It is worth noting that Sisodia was arrested by the Central Bureau of Investigation in February last year for alleged irregularities in the formulation and implementation of the now-scrapped Delhi excise policy 2021-22. However, with the support of his party and the power of the Constitution, Sisodia was able to secure his release. As he moves forward, Sisodia remains optimistic and determined to fight for justice and serve the people of Delhi.
