The Aam Aadmi Party has demanded immediate resignation of Union Home Minister Amit Shah on the ground that the arrest of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal was made by the CBI at his behest, which is proved by the observation made by the Supreme Court in its bail order yesterday.
MP Sanjay Singh said on Saturday that the CBI is a parrot caged by Amit Shah and the entire conspiracy was hatched only to end the politics of Arvind Kejriwal and finish the AAP.
Addressing a press conference at the party headquarters today, AAP Rajya Sabha MP said the observations made by the Supreme Court in its order granting bail to Arvind Kejriwal yesterday prove that his arrest was the conspiracy of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah. “The Supreme Court mentioned what we had been maintaining from Day 1 that it was the objective of the BJP and Amit Shah to end the politics of Arvind Kejriwal, to finish the AAP, do horse trading of MLAs in Delhi and topple the government in Delhi,” he said.
Praising the AAP supremo for keeping its flock together under such trying times, Sanjay Singh said, “I would like to congratulate our leader Arvind Kejriwal that under his leadership the AAP stood like a rock. Despite their best efforts, they could not break us in Delhi, Punjab and Municipal Corporation of Delhi and failed to topple our governments.”
The senior AAP leader said they (BJP) sent all our leaders to jail with the sole objective that Arvind Kejriwal and the leaders of the Aam Aadmi Party bow down. But Arvind Kejriwal courageously chose to fight them by remaining in jail rather than yielding.
He asserted, “I said it yesterday and I am repeating it again today that a dictator bows down, we need someone to make him bow down. Arvind Kejriwal is the person to make country’s dictator, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, bow down.”
Sanjay Singh said that various atrocities were committed on Arvind Kejriwal, but he fought and did not give in. What is this liquor scam that is being made a spectacle of for the last three years? Not even a rupee was recovered from the house of Arvind Kejriwal, Manish Sisodia or mine; nor corruption was proved. “Even then our leaders were being arrested one after the other based on a pack of lies created by Narendra Modi and Amit Shah. Yesterday’s decision of the Supreme Court has demolished those lies,” he said.
He said there is not even an iota of proof of the so-called liquor scam. This is sheer dictatorship with the intention of breaking the Aam Aadmi Party. Arvind Kejriwal got bail in the ED case from the lower court. For the first time in the history of Indian judiciary, without an order of the lower court, Modi’s agency, ED, goes to the high court to get the order against Arvind Kejriwal’s release by the lower court. Then, the Supreme Court grants bail to Arvind Kejriwal in the ED case. “Based on a fabricated case, the CBI then arrests an elected chief minister, Arvind Kejriwal, before he is released from jail in violation of the laws,” he said.
Sanjay Singh said the Supreme court said yesterday that the CBI woke up after 22 months to arrest Arvind Kejriwal despite having grilled him 22 months back. ‘Modi and Shah put the CBI on hold till the time the ED was in charge and when bail was granted in the ED case, Amit Shah told the CBI to go ahead, making a travesty of investigative agencies. Home Minister Amit Shah is directly responsible for this,” he said.
Demanding Amit Shah’s resignation in view of yesterday’s Supreme Court order, Sanjay Singh said, “The CBI has been caged by Amit Shah. The CBI arrested Arvind Kejriwal at the behest of Amit Shah. He must immediately resign from his post; he has no right to hold that post. A home minister who engages in breaking parties, toppling governments and horse trading has no right to remain in his position even for a minute. Amit Shah is the culprit behind the arrest of Arvind Kejriwal, and he must immediately quit his post. This has been proved by the Supreme Court order. The CBI that arrested Arvind Kejriwal comes under him, and it is a parrot in Amit Shah’s cage.”
