Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal ignited a political firestorm today, asserting that no member of the Gandhi family has ever been jailed in connection with the ongoing National Herald case. This statement, made amidst rising political tensions, directly challenges the Congress party's narrative.
Kejriwal's remarks, delivered during a recent public address, questioned the lack of arrests among prominent Congress leaders, including those from the Gandhi family. He further suggested a potential collusion between the Congress and the BJP, a claim met with strong rebuttal.
Congress leader Kapil Sibal swiftly responded, reminding Kejriwal of a past apology he offered in court regarding the case. The National Herald case involves allegations of financial irregularities concerning the newspaper's ownership. The case has been a long-standing point of contention between the ruling BJP and the opposition Congress.
