After the Supreme Court on Monday dismissed the bail plea of Manish Sisodia in connection with cases related to alleged irregularities in the Delhi Excise Policy case, Aam Adami Party (AAP) minister Atishi said that her party does not ‘agree’ with the order of the apex court.
Atishi, while addressing a press conference here, said that the AAP will study the order and explore legal options.
“We respect SC but do not agree with the order dismissing Manish Sisodia’s bail plea. We will study it and explore legal options,” she said.
Further, the Delhi minister said that her party is and will remain honest.
“Not even a single leader of the AAP is corrupt. The AAP was honest, is honest, and will remain an honest party,” Atishi said.
The Supreme Court on Monday dismissed the bail plea of Manish Sisodia in connection with cases related to alleged irregularities in the Delhi Excise Policy case.
Meanwhile, the BJP has claimed that the SC order proves corruption is steeped in the AAP, and soon the Delhi Chief Minister will get arrested.
“After this decision, it has been proved that Manish Sisodia and AAP are full of corruption… Now the arrest of top AAP leaders is near… Arvind Kejriwal too will get arrested,” said BJP leader and Lok Sabha MP Manoj Tiwary.
In February 2023, Manish Sisodia was arrested by the CBI for alleged irregularities in the framing and implementation of now-scrapped Delhi’s new excise policy.
The policy was withdrawn amid allegations of foul play by the opposition. Sisodia is currently in judicial custody.
According to the CBI, Sisodia had played the most important and vital role in the criminal conspiracy, and he had been deeply involved in the formulation as well as the implementation of the said policy to ensure the achievement of the objectives of the said conspiracy.
