Chandigarh, August 16: Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann met Aam Aadmi Party national leader Manish Sisodia in Delhi on Friday. Speaking to the media after the meeting, Mann stated that Sisodia had been subjected to BJP’s dictatorship for about a year and a half, but ultimately, truth prevails.
Mann praised Sisodia as a revolutionary education minister, noting that since the investigating agencies found no evidence against him, the Supreme Court granted him bail. He wished Sisodia good health and expressed hope that he would soon resume his work for the future of Delhi’s children.
Friday also marked Arvind Kejriwal’s birthday. Mann met with Sunita Kejriwal and mentioned that Arvind Kejriwal would also be released soon. He asserted that the investigating agencies had no evidence against Kejriwal or other AAP leaders, and suggested that their aim was to keep them imprisoned by any means necessary.
He said that the BJP tried hard to break the party by imprisoning our leaders, but they failed to undermine our unity. All our leaders must remain united and continue working to strengthen the party. The BJP spread rumors and false propaganda, suggesting that Arvind Kejriwal would implicate Manish Sisodia and vice versa. However, they did not understand that in the Aam Aadmi Party, we do not undermine each other. We work together as a team.
Mann mentioned that with Manish Sisodia’s return, the party will grow stronger. Sisodia has emerged mentally resilient, and Arvind Kejriwal will come out of this situation stronger than ever. The future of Indian politics belongs to the Aam Aadmi Party. People across the country are recognizing the honesty and dedication with which we have worked in Punjab and Delhi.
He also criticized the central government for halting thousands of crores in funds for various schemes, including RDF and NHM in Punjab. The central government hopes that by withholding these funds, the Punjab government will submit. However, we will not bow down or beg; we are demanding our rights, and Punjabis know how to assert their rights.
