In a shocking turn of events, former Deputy Chief Minister Shri Manish Sisodia was subjected to severe mistreatment at the hands of the Delhi Police within the premises of Rouse Avenue Court. Disturbing video footage reveals the AAP Leader being forcefully pushed and dragged away by a group of police officers, when he was being approached by the media. The media had approached him to seek his response on Centre’s ordinance on Services.
The incident unfolded when Shri Manish Sisodia was denouncing the Centre’s recent ordinance, and mentioned PM Modi’s name. Exactly at that moment, the police grabbed him by the neck, encircled him, and proceeded to forcefully drag him through the court gallery. This act of aggression was witnessed by numerous individuals, including members of the media.
Expressing his views even in the face of adversity, Shri Manish Sisodia exclaimed, “Modiji has become very arrogant. Neither does he believe in democracy nor the Supreme Court. He is ready to do anything to stop CM Arvind Kejriwal.” These remarks were made while he was being unjustly dragged by the police.
The Aam Aadmi Party has condemned this act of violence. As per sources, the party is also considering legal recourse in this specific incident. The party’s leaders from across the country have urged the raised questions about Shri Manish Sisodia’s treatment in custody.
Highlighting his anger on Twitter, AAP National Convenor and Delhi CM Shri Arvind Kejriwal wrote, “Does the police have the right to misbehave with Manish ji like this? Has the police been given orders from above to do this?”
Relaying the emotion, AAP Senior Leader and Rajya Sabha MP Shri Sanjay Singh tweeted, “This is police hooliganism at its peak, this police officer is pulling Shri Manish Sisodia by his neck, in order to please his boss. He has forgotten that the court can take his job away as well. The court should take cognizance of this incident. Modiji, the whole country is watching your dictatorship unfold.” While, AAP Senior Leader and Rajya Sabha MP Shri Raghav Chadha tweeted, “This is how Delhi Police controlled by the BJP-led centre, treats India’s best education minister. Strongly condemn this manhandling. The nation is watching.”
AAP Senior Leader and Cabinet Minister Ms Atishi tweeted a video of the incident and wrote, “The misconduct by this police officer towards Manish ji at the Rouse Avenue Court is alarming. Delhi Police should immediately suspend him.”
AAP Senior Leader and Cabinet Minister Shri Saurabh Bhardwaj tweeted, “Does the police have the right to behave this way with Manish Sisodia ji? Did Modi ji ask the police to do this? Delhi Police should immediately suspend this officer. Modi ji has become arrogant. The country will never forget such misconduct with the best Education Minister, Manish ji. Lord Krishna shattered the arrogance of Duryodhan and Mama Shakuni. Now, Lord Krishna will definitely shatter the arrogance of today’s Duryodhan and Mama Shakuni. We believe that in the 2024 elections, the ground is being prepared for the Mahabharata, and with the blessings of Lord Krishna, this election will put an end to BJP’s arrogance.”
At the same time, Punjab’s Health Minister Dr. Balbir Singh tweeted, “This is shameful and unacceptable behaviour. Such behaviour towards the country’s best Education Minister is disgraceful.”
It is noteworthy that Shri Manish Sisodia had attended a court hearing related to the matter of his judicial custody. He has been unjustly held in custody for several months in a fabricated and botched-up Excise Policy case investigation..
