New Delhi:

Hours before he was to appear before the CBI in the Delhi Liquor Policy case, Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia invoked freedom fighter Bhagat Singh and said he was not afraid of going to jail.

Going to CBI again today, will cooperate fully in the investigation. The love of lakhs of children and the blessings of crores of countrymen are with me. Follower of Bhagat Singh, Bhagat Singh went to the gallows for the country. No big deal to go to jail for such false charges,” he tweeted in Hindi.

Going to CBI again today, full cooperation in the entire investigation. The love of million children and the blessings of crores of countrymen
Be careful even if you stay in jail for a few months. He is a follower of Bhagat Singh, Bhagat Singh was hanged for the country. It’s a small thing to go to jail because of such license lie

Soon after, Mr. Sisodia left for Raj Ghat to pay respects to Mahatma Gandhi. The AAP leader’s march to Raj Ghat was turned into a massive show of strength by the party. AAP supporters raised slogans and waved placards as Mr Sisodia stood out from the car’s sunroof and waved to her.

From Rajghat, the AAP leader left for the CBI headquarters at Lodhi Road. Addressing his supporters, Mr Sisodia said it was a “challenging time” and reiterated that he was not afraid of going to jail. The Deputy Chief Minister while reciting the immortal lines of Ram Prasad Bismil, “Sarfaroshi Ki Tamanna”, said that he has always worked with integrity and thanked his family for their constant support.

Referring to his career as a journalist, he said that he left a good job with Arvind Kejriwal to work for the people.

Addressing the students of Delhi, he said that they should keep working hard. Mr. Sisodia is credited with transforming Delhi’s schools by strengthening infrastructure and improving teaching standards.

Retweeting Mr Sisodia’s post, Chief Minister and AAP supremo Manish Sisodia said, “God is with you”. “God is with you Manish. Prayers of lakhs of children and their parents are with you. Going to jail is an honor for the country and society. I pray to God that you return from jail soon. Children of Delhi , parents and all of us will be waiting for you.”

God is with you Manish. The prayers of lakhs of children and their parents are with you. When you go to jail for the country and society, then going to jail is not a curse, it is a glory. I pray to the Lord that you return from jail soon. Children, parents and we all of Delhi will be waiting for you. https://t.co/h8VrIIYRTz

Mr Sisodia was to appear before the central probe agency last Sunday, but sought more time. He had then said that as Delhi’s finance minister, he was busy preparing the budget and his arrest at this juncture would derail that work. After this the agency issued fresh summons for today.

Mr Sisodia is being probed by the CBI for alleged corruption in bringing a new liquor sale policy in the national capital. He has not yet been named as an accused in the charge sheet filed by the agency.

Last year the agency raided his house.

Separately, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) has also launched a probe alleging money laundering, and claims that a liquor lobby called the “South Group” funded the Goa election campaign through one of the arrested businessmen. Paid at least Rs 100 crore in kickbacks to you. ,

They have also interrogated Kavitha, daughter of Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao, and arrested her former accountant.
