“Sad, Predictable How Probe Agencies Work”: AAP On Manish Sisodia’s Arrest

The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) said they knew Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia would be arrested by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) today, minutes after he was taken into custody in the Delhi liquor policy case.

“The CBI is completely at the behest of the centre. We always knew Manish Sisodia would be arrested,” AAP MLA Saurabh Bharadwaj said. “It is sad and predictable how the probe agencies work,” he added.

The BJP’s Manjinder Singh Sirsa denied claims by the AAP that the CBI is being misused by the centre. “He may have done work on education. But that doesn’t mean he should indulge in corruption in liquor policy,” Mr Sirsa told NDTV, referring to Mr Sisodia’s education and finance portfolios. 

AAP’s Sanjay Singh directly attacked Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the arrest.

“Manish Sisodia’s arrest is the height of dictatorship. Modi ji, you have not done a good thing by arresting a good person and the best Education Minister. Even God will not forgive you. One day your dictatorship will definitely end,” Mr Singh tweeted.
