Sunita Kejriwal, AAP MP Sanjay Singh meet Jharkhand CM Soren and his wife
New Delhi: Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's wife Sunita Kejriwal and AAP MP Sanjay Singh on Saturday met Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren and his wife Kalpana Soren at the latter's official residence on Saturday.
"INDIA is united against dictatorship. Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's wife, Sunita Kejriwal
and AAP MP Sanjay Singh welcomed Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren and his wife Kalpana Soren at the Chief Minister's residence today," AAP's official account stated on social media platform X.
"Satyamev Jayate. A conspiracy was hatched by the BJP to defame Arvind Kejriwal. But BJP had to face defeat in this cheap game and Supreme Court granted bail to Kejriwal. This is a victory of democracy over dictatorship," the official AAP account stated further.
Earlier in the day, Hemant Soren accused the ruling BJP of humiliating the judiciary and hoped that Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, who was in judicial custody in the excise policy case, would come out of jail soon.
"I hadn't met Sonia Gandhi after coming out of jail; that is why I came to meet her. Discussions for the Jharkhand Assembly elections will continue... Indians are very tolerant and cooperative. They tolerate a lot until they can't, and then they make themselves heard by voting. The BJP has humiliated the judiciary. I hope Arvind Kejriwal will be granted bail soon," Soren said.
Notably, Kejriwal got interim bail from the Supreme Court on Friday in money laundering charges linked to the excise policy case. But he could not come out of jail as he was separately arrested by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) under the Prevention of Corruption Act in connection with the same case on June 25. He is under remand till July 25 in the CBI case.
Hemant Soren was released from the Birsa Munda Jail on June 28 after nearly five months following bail from Jharkhand High Court in a money laundering case linked to an alleged land scam.
