New Delhi [India]: In response to the arrest of Rajya Sabha leader Sanjay Singh in connection with the alleged liquor scam, Delhi minister and Aam Aadmi Party leader Atishi on Thursday gave an open challenge to BJP and asked the ruling party to provide proof for the RS leader's arrest.
"I want to challenge the BJP that even if a single rupee of corruption is found from Sanjay Singh's residence, then the proof should be presented before the country. I want to ask the BJP that they have raided Sanjay Singh's residence, I invite them to send ED, and CBI to raid his paternal house and his bank locker. I can challenge that not even a single paisa of corruption would be found," the Delhi Minister said.
Speaking at a press conference today, the AAP leader said, "They are investigating the liquor scam. The ED and CBI have deployed more than 500 officers on this investigation for the last 15 months."
"But even after 15 months, these agencies along with the BJP-led central government have not been able to present proof of corruption of even one rupee before the court or before the country," she added.
The AAP leader alleged that the agency had arrested both Manish Sisodia and Sanjay Singh without providing proof.
"First, they conducted raids at Manish Sisodia's house. They could not find anything there, they conducted raids at his locker, his office and even his paternal home. But the BJP doesn't need any proof, they arrested Sisodia ji without even a single proof of corruption," she said.
"The same incident is taking place with Sanjay Singh. Yesterday, Ed conducted raids at his 4-room house. They stayed there for 8 hours and raided it for 8 hours, searching every nook and corner of the house but could not find anything" Atishi added.
