“Just like Soren has come out of jail, Kejriwal will also come out”: RJD MP Manoj Jha

New Delhi [India], June 30 (ANI): After Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal was sent to judicial custody till July 12 in a CBI case, Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) MP Manoj Jha said on Sunday that just like JMM leader Hemant Soren was released, Kejriwal will also come out.

“Just like Hemant Soren has come out of jail, he (Arvind Kejriwal) will also come out. The Central government is weaponising ED, IT and CBI. The Prime Minister will have to understand the mandate seriously. Hemant Soren getting the bail is a slap on the face of those who used these agencies for political gains,” Jha said.

The Rouse Avenue Court of Delhi on Saturday sent Arvind Kejriwal to judicial custody till July 12 in connection with the excise policy case.

The Delhi High Court recently stayed Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s bail order passed by the trial court, saying that the trial court should have at least recorded its satisfaction with the fulfilment of twin conditions of section 45 of Prevention of the Money Laundering Act (PMLA) before passing the impugned order.

Further, speaking on the NEET exam row, RJD MP Manoj Jha said that if the opposition sits idle and watch student’s future being destroyed, will history forgive them?

“You should ask the students on the streets what they want. Then you will realize that what the opposition is repeatedly saying, there is the future of those lakhs of children. If we sit idle and watch their dreams being destroyed, will history forgive us?” he said.

The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on June 23 registered a criminal case over the alleged irregularities in the conduct of the NEET-UG and UGC-NET exams by the NTA and formed special teams to probe the matter.

As per the agency’s FIR, certain “isolated incidents” occurred in a few states during the conduct of the NEET (UG) 2024 examination, which was held on May 5.

The opposition INDIA bloc has been questioning the government and demanding a discussion over the ongoing NEET-UG row in the Lok Sabha.

The lower house was adjourned till July 1 amid an uproar by the opposition.
