‘Not the time to celebrate but to struggle,’ says AAP MP Sanjay Singh as he walks out of jail

A day after getting bail from the Supreme Court, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MP Sanjay Singh on Wednesday evening walked out of the jail to a rousing welcome by his supporters and party workers, who showered flower petals on him.

Singh waved towards his supporters, who fervently shouted slogans such as ‘Inquilab Zindabad.’

“India’s biggest leader Arvind Kejriwal along with Manish Sisodia and Satyender Jain have been put behind bars. But I have full faith the locks of the jail will break and they will be released,” he said to loud cheers.

The AAP Rajya Sabha MP, who was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate in a money laundering case relating to the liquor policy irregularities in October last year, was granted bail by the Supreme Court on Tuesday.

Sanjay Singh has been asked to surrender his passport by Delhi’s Rouse Avenue Court after he was granted bail by the Supreme Court in the money laundering case.

The counsel for Singh urged the court to not impose conditions of prior permission before leaving Delhi-NCR. He said that Singh is a political leader and it is election time.

The court, however, said Singh would have to provide his itinerary to the investigating officer (IO) before leaving Delhi-NCR.

He has also been asked to keep his ‘location on’ in his mobile whenever he travels outside the national capital region.
