Delhi Liquor Policy Case: Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has claimed that his sources have confirmed that his deputy chief minister, Manish Sisodia, who recently has been summoned by the CBI (Central Bureau of Investigation) for questioning with regard to the Delhi liquor excise policy case, will be arrested on Sunday by the CBI.
Speaking at the ABP Network’s second edition of the `Ideas of India` Summit, the chief minister said, “CBI has called Manish Sisodia for questioning. Our sources are saying that he will be arrested on Sunday… It is very sad.”
Further, he said that the CBI raided Sisodia’s residence and searched his bank lockers, but nothing was found. “CBI raided Manish Sisodia, searched his bank accounts, raided his house, searched his lockers, raided his office, raided properties in his village but nothing was found,” he added.
Moreover, CM Kejriwal said that Sisodia offered hope of a good future to crores of poor children in the country.
While appreciating the initiatives and work of the deputy chief minister, Sisodia that helped to improvise the education system in Delhi, CM said, “Manish Sisodia is the person, who after 75 years of independence has given hope to the poor people of this country that their children can also have a good future. Today in Delhi, the children of the poor are becoming doctors, engineers, and lawyers. Manish Sisodia has given a lot of hope to them.”
Delhi CM and AAP convener has also claimed that a conspiracy has been hatched to defame such a person by framing him in a false case.
“If you arrest him and put him in jail in a false case, how will the country make progress? If the king of a country will send to jail those who give education to the children of the poor in that country and will hand over the entire country to two four friends, then how will the country progress?” CM Kejriwal added.
Highlighting his first meeting with Sisodia, he said that he first met Sisodia on December 29, 1999, when he was working in the Income Tax department. Notably, on Monday, Sisodia said that the CBI called him for questioning on February 26 in connection with the Delhi liquor excise policy case.
