The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) launched a scathing attack on the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), accusing it of fabricating statements to malign Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal.
Senior AAP leader Jasmine Shah denounced the CBI’s claim in Delhi’s Rouse Avenue Court that Kejriwal had shifted blame onto Manish Sisodia in a supposed liquor scam case.
Jasmine Shah asserted, “The CBI was caught red-handed lying in front of the court. Today, the judge confirmed that CM Arvind Kejriwal has not given any such statement, exposing the CBI’s falsehoods.”
Kejriwal himself challenged the CBI’s assertion in court, declaring, “I never made such statement. Manish Sisodia, myself, and the entire AAP are innocent.”
The AAP leader accused the BJP of orchestrating the legal manoeuvres against them, stating, “ED-CBI are being used only to tarnish the image of AAP leaders. Today, this truth has been revealed in court.”
Shah emphasised the political nature of the accusations, alleging, “On the orders of BJP, ED-CBI have made this fake case to keep Arvind Kejriwal in jail and finish AAP.”
The hearing at Rouse Avenue Court saw intense arguments between the AAP’s legal team and the CBI, with the judge reserving the order for further consideration.
