Will now work even harder for our state, our region, and our nation, says Bains
Punjab Newsline, Chandigarh–
Welcoming the Delhi Special CBI Court's verdict discharging Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) National Convenor Arvind Kejriwal, AAP Punjab Incharge Manish Sisodia, and 21 others, Punjab Education Minister Harjot Singh Bains hailed the verdict as a monumental victory for truth and the order is a testament to the resilience of the Indian Constitution and the independent judiciary.
In a video message, Bains stated, "One may try as hard as they want, but at the end, truth always wins. All religious scriptures teach us this, and today we have received proof of it when the Special CBI Court in Delhi discharged Arvind Kejriwal ji, Manish Sisodia ji, and 21 others.”
He further emphasised the significance of the court's strong remarks, highlighting that the judiciary found the investigation to be completely lacking in substance. He noted that the court explicitly stated there wasn't enough evidence to proceed with a trial, implying the case was baseless. Bains further pointed out the court's observation that the Investigation Officers had gone to great lengths to fabricate the case, and the court has recommended disciplinary action against those responsible for these wrongdoings. He described this as a major win not just for the discharged leaders, but for truth and democracy.
He expressed gratitude towards the Almighty, and bowed to Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, while crediting India's Constitution for empowering judiciary to uphold justice. "The constitution's strength foils attempts to suppress truth. It is the strength of our Constitution that empowers the judiciary to deliver justice."
Bains asserted that the verdict will inject a new energy into the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP). This energy will give further impetus to serve the common people—be it through improving government schools, enhancing medical and health facilities, or the ongoing work in Punjab.
Highlighting the developmental agenda in Punjab under Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann, the Bains listed the government's achievements including free and 24-hour electricity for domestic use, day time electricity supply for Agriculture sector, delivering canal water to every field and offering every Punjabi free treatment up to Rs. 10 lakh—these are the works that the Aam Aadmi Party led government is doing today. The love that CM Mann is receiving from across the state makes me believe that the record-breaking mandate of 2022 will be shattered in 2027. We will now work even harder for our state, our region, and our nation.”
