Six months in Tihar jail have strengthened resolve to fight against 'injustice, dictatorship': Sanjay Singh
AAP Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh on Thursday said the six months he spent in jail boosted his morale and strengthened his resolve to raise his voice against "injustice and dictatorship". Singh, who walked out of Tihar jail on Wednesday, told PTI that his jailed party colleagues — Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, former deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia and former minister Satyendar Jain — will also be released soon.
Singh had been lodged in the high-security prison in the national capital since October 13, 2023. He was arrested on October 4 last year in connection with an excise policy-linked money laundering case. He was granted bail by the Supreme Court on Tuesday.
Kejriwal and Sisodia have also been arrested in the same case, while Jain is in jail in connection with a separate money laundering case.
«We have always raised our voice against atrocities, injustice and dictatorship. Be it farmers' issues, price rise, Manipur violence or issues related to Delhi, we have always spoken about them and will continue doing so even after six months.
»I have got more strength and confidence from this battle and my morale is sky-high. I got an opportunity to read in prison," he told PTI at the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) office here.
Singh reiterated his party's stand about Kejriwal not resigning as chief minister. Earlier this month, Delhi Lieutenant Governor V K Saxena had said that the «government won't be run from jail» in the aftermath of the arrest of Kejriwal.
