Graft must be exposed irrespective of political leaning: AAP on HC order

Wednesday, 28 September 2022 | SR | NEW DELHI

The AAP on Tuesday said that it “completely disagrees” with the Delhi High Court's interim order that directed the party and its leaders to take down alleged libelous posts, videos and tweets posted against Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena and also restrained them from making any further allegations against him.

The AAP said it will study the court order thoroughly in consultation with the lawyers and decide its next course of action in the matter. “We strongly believe that elected representatives and political parties have a duty to bring up matters of public importance before citizens.  We respect judiciary of our country but under no circumstances can we be deterred from raising matters of corruption against any powerful individual,” said AAP, in a statement issued on Tuesday evening.“We expect that Central Government should set up an independent enquiry into matters which are related to corruption charges irrespective of their political affiliation,” it said. “Truth must prevail in public discourse and is a valid defence before any proceeding.

“We will not hesitate to speak the truth at any cost and will take recourse to all available legal remedies for protection of our rights,” the AAP said.

 

 

As a public figure in high office, we expect Lieutenant Governor to also demand independent and fair investigation. If has not done anything wrong, why is he running away from any investigations?,” the statement further added.
