Amit Shah conspired to kill Manish Sisodia inside Tihar, says AAP

It also sought to highlight the Vyapam scam in Madhya Pradesh and questioned why “no leader or minister” of the Shivraj Singh Chohan government was sent to jail despite serious allegations of corruption.

“The BJP has put Manish Sisodia’s life in danger while he is in Tihar Jail… Union Home Minister Amit Shah has conspired to kill Sisodia inside jail. Although Tihar Jail is under the Delhi government, its Director-General reports to the Lieutenant Governor, who in turn reports to the Union Home Ministry,” the AAP alleged in a statement.

The party also sought to criticise Prime Minister Modi for “turning a blind eye to the corruption of his friend Adani”, who “defrauded lakhs of investors to the tune of trillions of rupees”, and compared it with “the incarceration of an honest and hardworking leader” like Sisodia who, it said, had “set an example in the field of education in the country”.

“The Prime Minister and his party are engaging in a conspiracy to break opposition parties and topple their governments… the country is currently facing a severe crisis of dictatorship and anarchy, and the Prime Minister and his party are determined to silence opposition voices,” it alleged.

“The Prime Minister’s fight against corruption is mere drama and his real aim is to strangle opposition parties and suppress their voices. The party calls on the people of India to recognise the gravity of the situation and rise against the dictatorship and corruption prevalent in the country,” it added.
