The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh on Tuesday said that the excise policy case against Arvind Kejriwal and the AAP leaders is the "biggest political conspiracy after independence".
Addressing a press conference in Chandigarh, Singh, who was given bail by the Supreme Court recently, said this case has been registered under a conspiracy and there is no intention of investigating any scam. "The motive is to topple the Aam Aadmi Party governments in Delhi and Punjab, both the governments of thumping majority. It is an attempt to stop the growing popularity of the Aam Aadmi Party and its achievement of getting national party status in 10 years," he alleged.
The Rajya Sabha MP said that in the case of Kejriwal, false witnesses were prepared, baseless allegations were made. He said that 10-10 statements were recorded but only 2 were produced in the court. Rest are hidden because they do not match their propaganda and don't include needed lies. Magunta Reddy gave 10 statements, in the last two statements as soon as they mentioned Kejriwal's name, immediately his son Raghav Reddy got bail. Magunta, against whom the BJP actually started this investigation, is now asking for votes under the BJP's banner and putting Modi's picture everywhere. But when he named Arvind Kejriwal in his statement he got bail for his back pain.
He reiterated that this entire case is fake, it is only a political conspiracy against Kejriwal. The statements that did not mention the name of Kejriwal are deliberately being left out of the proceedings and are not being put in front of the court. If all the facts are not presented before the court, then how will justice be done?
He continued that there is a process of the justice system and many times there is a lapse in the judicial process. There are many irregularities in PMLA in which the provisions of getting bail are very difficult when you do not present the whole truth before the court and the whole matter is not coming before the court. More than 20,000 pages have been kept in unreliable documents means 20,000 papers are being hidden by the ED and they are saying that they don't trust them. But under section 15 of PMLA it is mentioned that no one can give false statements, if you give false testimony then legal action will be taken against you. If there are statements that are unreliable then why no action is being taken against the people who gave those statements. Eight statements were recorded by a person before he took the name of Arvind Kejriwal, but instead of action against his false statements, as soon as he took the name of Kejriwal, he got bail.
