Expressing joy over the Supreme Court granting bail to Manish Sisodia, Aam Aadmi Party MP Sanjay Singh called it a victory for truth and a significant relief for the party.
“This is the victory of truth. As I have said before, there is no truth or evidence in this case. Our leaders were forcibly imprisoned. Manish Sisodia was kept in jail for 17 months… I thank the Supreme Court for delivering justice, and the decision has brought excitement to every AAP worker. I pray that Arvind Kejriwal and Satyendra Jain are also released from jail soon. This is a slap on the dictatorship of the central government,” said AAP MP Sanjay Singh.

“This is a big relief for the Aam Aadmi Party and the people of Delhi. Now the path to justice will open soon for Arvind Kejriwal and Satyendra Jain. Will the Prime Minister of the country account for the 17 months of Manish Sisodia’s life that were wasted? Not a single rupee was recovered from Manish Sisodia’s house… This is a significant relief for AAP workers, and everything will turn out well. Soon, our two other leaders will also be released,” he added.
The advocate representing Manish Sisodia, Rishikesh Kumar, said, “The court has stated that if there is no evidence, there is no case of tampering. Keeping him in jail for so long is against the principles of bail. Whether it’s the case of the ED or Section 45, the cardinal rule of bail applies. Considering that Manish Sisodia has already been in jail for 17 months, the Supreme Court dismissed all the ED’s pleas and granted him bail. The Court also noted that the ED’s statement in court about the trial concluding in 6-8 months doesn’t seem likely…”
Meanwhile, Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav congratulated Manish Sisodia, saying, “Bahut badhayi.”
Congress MP Manickam Tagore stated that Manish Sisodia’s release shows how long it took for the legal system to deliver justice.
