New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Friday granted interim bail to Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal in the ED case related to Delhi Excise Policy. However Kejriwal will have to remain in jail in the CBI case.
Reacting on the SC bail order Delhi Minister Atishi said, "...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 the 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, said Atishi
She added, "I would like to tell the BJP, end your arrogance and stop hatching conspiracy against other parties. Truth can be troubled but not defeated..."
Another Delhi Minister Saurabh Bhardwaj took to his social media handle on platform X and posted "First, Judge Nyay Bindu granted bail in the ED case, and now the country's biggest court has granted interim bail to Arvind Kejriwal.”
Further, he added, "The court has taught a big lesson to the Central BJP government. If the centre still acts, arbitrarily, the pride will be further shattered”
The AAP celebrated the bail order saying that if the centre acts arbitrarily its pride would be shattered. (with Agency inputs)
