Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia on Sunday said that the CBI had summoned him to appear before the federal probe agency on Monday. Fearing arrest, the AAP leader said that he will extend his cooperation to the agency.
“CBI raid was conducted at my house for 14 hours, nothing came out. They searched my bank locker, nothing came out of it. They did not find anything in my village. Now they have called me to CBI Headquarters at 11 am tomorrow. I will go and give my full cooperation. Satyameva Jayate,” Sisodia tweeted.
Reacting to Sisodia’s tweet, his boss, Arvind Kejriwal, tweeted, “Jail bars and hanging noose could not deter Bhagat Singh’s lofty intentions. This is the second fight for freedom. Manish and Satyendra are today’s Bhagat Singh. After 75 years, the country got an education minister who gave good education to the poor and gave hope for a bright future. Prayers of crores of poor are with you.”
