Delhi Education Minister and AAP leader Atishi broke down today as she reacted to the Supreme Court’s decision to grant bail to Manish Sisodia, the former Deputy Chief Minister of Delhi, in the liquor policy case.
Atishi, speaking at a school, said, “Today the truth has won, the students of Delhi have won. He was put in jail because he provided good education to poor children.”
AAP leaders today termed the Supreme Court verdict as a “victory of truth”. Mr Sisodia was granted bail nearly 18 months after his arrest in the alleged liquor policy case. The Supreme Court’s verdict, delivered by Justices BR Gavai and KV Viswanathan, said it would be a “travesty of justice” to continue Mr Sisodia’s incarceration without significant progress in the trial.
