Amit Shah spoke on the acquittal of Arvind Kejriwal in the alleged liquor scam, said- ‘The decision is not final yet’
New Delhi: Amit Shah has reacted for the first time on the acquittal of former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal in the alleged liquor scam. The Home Minister said there was “a lot of evidence” against Kejriwal and other accused and the case was not yet over. Amit Shah said that in this case the process from the lower court to the Supreme Court is yet to be completed. He said that until the final decision of the Supreme Court comes, no one should be labeled as “staunchly honest”. During this, the Home Minister also mentioned the election defeat of Arvind Kejriwal from New Delhi seat and took a political dig at him.
In a TV news channel programme, former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal reacted to the acquittal in the alleged liquor scam. The Home Minister was asked about the misuse of agencies and the court’s decision, to which he said that this is the decision of the Sessions Court, which the government has challenged in the Delhi High Court. Amit Shah said, “I am confident that the charge sheet that has been filed is strong and there is enough evidence to prosecute the case.” Referring to the country’s justice system, he said that it has three levels – Sessions Court, High Court and Supreme Court of India. The Home Minister said that until the final decision of the Delhi High Court and then, if necessary, the Supreme Court of India, no one should be labeled as “staunchly honest”.
In response to a question asked in a TV programme, the Home Minister said that if a person continues to indulge in “daydreaming”, then no one can save him. Referring to Arvind Kejriwal’s defeat from New Delhi seat, Amit Shah said that he should introspect. He said, “Kejriwal ji himself lost the MLA election, if he introspects it will be better for his party.” The Home Minister, reacting indirectly to the statement made by Kejriwal against the Prime Minister, said that such comments are far from reality.
The trial court has acquitted all 23 accused, including former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and former Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia, in the alleged liquor scam case. During this period, the court also made strict comments on the investigating agency Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI). CBI has challenged the trial court’s decision in the Delhi High Court, where the case is being heard by a bench of Justice Swarn Kanta Sharma.
Meanwhile, Arvind Kejriwal expressed doubt on the judge and appealed first to the Chief Justice of the High Court and then to the Supreme Court of India to transfer the case to another bench. The High Court has currently stayed the comments made by the trial court against the CBI. Delhi’s alleged liquor scam has become a big political issue for the last few years. It is believed that this matter was also an important reason for the election defeat of Aam Aadmi Party.
