NEW DELHI: Former Delhi chief minister and AAP supremo Arvind Kejriwal was on Friday acquitted of all charges by the Rouse Avenue court. Hailing the verdict as “truth always wins,” Kejriwal became visibly emotional while speaking to reporters outside the court premises.Kejriwal’s long-time deputy Manish Sisodia was also discharged by the court.Special judge Jitendra Singh delivered the verdict in the case investigated by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).Reacting to the prolonged case against him, Kejriwal said, “mud was thrown at us.”“I am not corrupt. The court has said that Kejriwal and Manish Sisodia are honest. Today, the court has discharged all the accused in this case. We have always said that truth emerges victorious. We have full faith in the Indian legal system. Amit Shah and Modi ji together hatched the biggest political conspiracy to finish AAP, and five senior leaders of the party were put in jail. The sitting chief minister was dragged out of his house and sent to jail. Kejriwal is not corrupt. I have only earned honesty in my life. Today, the court has said that Kejriwal, Manish Sisodia and AAP are honest,” Kejriwal said.Manish Sisodia also welcomed the court’s decision, saying that the truth had prevailed.“Satyamev Jayate. Today, once again, I feel proud of Baba Saheb Ambedkar Ji’s visionary thinking and the Constitution he crafted. Despite all attempts by Modi Ji’s entire party and its agencies to prove us dishonest, it has been established that Arvind Kejriwal and Manish Sisodia are steadfastly honest (kattar imaandaar),” he said.Both AAP leaders had served time in Tihar Jail during the course of the investigation. Kejriwal had also submitted his resignation to the Delhi lieutenant governor over the corruption charges linked to the Delhi excise policy case. His government, which was later succeeded by the BJP under Rekha Gupta, had faced serious allegations, and bigwigs in the AAP government were sent to jail.About the AuthorTOI News DeskThe TOI News Desk comprises a dedicated and tireless team of journalists who operate around the clock to deliver the most current and comprehensive news and updates to the readers of The Times of India worldwide.
