Truth can't be defeated: AAP on Arvind Kejriwal's bail in excise policy case

New Delhi/IBNS: "Truth can be troubled, but not defeated," say Aam Aadmi Party leaders in their initial reactions to their party supremo and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal getting bail by the Supreme Court in the excise policy case.

Delhi minister Atishi says, "Satyamev Jayate.. Truth can be troubled, but not defeated."

AAP MP Raghav Chadha wrote on X, "Welcome back Arvind Kejriwal, we missed you! Truth can be troubled but not defeated! Finally, the Honourable Supreme Court has given its decision to release  Arvind Kejriwal from the shackles of jail. Thanks to the Honorable Supreme Court!"

The top court has applied two conditions on his bail. Kejriwal has been barred from entering into the Chief Minister's office and the state secretariat.

Kejriwal was arrested by the Central Bureau of Investigation in June when he was already in Tihar Jail in connection with the same case.

The Aam Aadmi Party supremo has been in jail since March 21 when he was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate over money laundering allegations while framing the Delhi liquor policy for 2021-22, which was later scrapped after the Lieutenant Governor raised red flags.

He was arrested by the CBI on June 26.

The ED has alleged the money Kejriwal got from the liquor sellers was used to fund the party's campaign in Goa since he is the convenor of the AAP.

Kejriwal and the AAP have throughout maintained the Centre has been misusing its agencies to harass the Opposition with false cases.

Kejriwal was given an interim bail in May for a brief period until June 2, 2024 for campaigning in the Lok Sabha polls.

He went back to the jail on June 2, 2024 the day next to the last phase poll date.
