Chandigarh, February 28, 2026: In a press note released following the acquittal of Arvind Kejriwal and Manish Sisodia, Punjab Cabinet Minister Hardeep Singh Mundian declared that the court’s decision has delivered a “slap on the faces of opponents.” The Minister stated that the verdict in the alleged liquor scam case confirms that the entire investigation was driven by a desire to suppress political rivals.
Mundian affirmed that the leaders were kept behind bars for months in a targeted effort to stop the progress of governance in Delhi. He maintained that the acquittal is not just a victory for the Aam Aadmi Party, but for all citizens who believe in the power of the Indian legal system.
“This is a major victory for the people who believe in the Constitution,” the Minister asserted. He declared that the “staunch honesty” of the party has been validated by the court, rendering the opposition’s previous criticisms baseless.
The Minister noted that the journey to justice was long, but maintained that the truth remained steadfast throughout the trial. He stated that the political leaders who led the campaign against Kejriwal and Sisodia must now reckon with the judicial findings.
Concluding his statement with a spiritual reflection, Mundian thanked the Almighty for the grace that led to this acquittal. He affirmed that Guru Sahib always provides the courage to stand against injustice, ensuring that innocent leaders receive the justice they deserve after a period of significant struggle.
