The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has termed the granting of bail to Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal as ‘Satyamev Jayate’ and a victory for truth. Along with this, AAP taunted BJP and said that this is a big slap on BJP’s face. Celebrations were held outside the residence and party headquarters and AAP workers burst firecrackers. In a post on Twitter, the Aam Aadmi Party said that truth can be disturbed, not defeated. Let us tell you that CM Kejriwal was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate on March 21 in a money laundering case related to excise policy. The court on Thursday granted bail to CM Kejriwal in the money laundering case related to the alleged excise scam.
The special judge also rejected the Enforcement Directorate’s prayer to stay the bail order for 48 hours to allow the central agency to file an appeal against it in the High Court. Kejriwal stayed in Tihar Jail for almost 60 days.
