Chandigarh, February 27 Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann on Friday praised the court's decision to acquit AAP supremo and former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and his former deputy Manish Sisodia in the excise policy case, saying that truth always prevails.
A Delhi court acquitted Kejriwal and Sisodia in the excise policy case, refusing to accept the chargesheet filed by the Central Bureau of Investigation.
Besides the two leaders, 21 others were also acquitted in the matter.
In a post on X, Mann said, "Truth always triumphs. AAP supremo Arvind Kejriwal ji and Delhi's former Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia ji have been acquitted by the Hon'ble Delhi Court in the liquor scam case. This decision of the Hon'ble Court has brought the truth to light. With time, the truth in all other cases will also be revealed."
Punjab AAP president and cabinet minister Aman Arora welcomed the Delhi court verdict and accused the BJP-led Centre of misusing central agencies to malign AAP.
"As the saying goes 'Justice can be delayed but not denied' @ArvindKejriwal ji @ @msisodia ji & all others has been acquitted & discharged from a false, fabricated, bundle of lies so called Liquor Scam case of Delhi by the Honorable Court has once again proved that BJP led Central Govt agencies did all this to defame & damage @AamAadmiParty's politics of honesty.
The people of the country will give a befitting reply to the conspirators in the days to come," said Arora on X.
