Delhi Liquor Policy: Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin has written a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi regarding Delhi Deputy CM Manish Sisodia's arrest in the Delhi liquor policy scam case. In his letter, MK Stalin said that the day of Sisodia's arrest and terrorising the due process of law will be remembered as the black day in the BJP regime at the Centre.
Stalin's letter has come days after 9 opposition parties wrote a letter to the Prime Minister on the arrest of Manish Sisodia alleging "blatant misuse of central agencies".
TN Chief Minister has urged the Prime Minister to take all steps to direct the unconditional release of Manish Sisodia, who is lodged in Delhi's Tihar jail.
"I hope that you will agree that different ideologies and several political parties are the heartbeat of Indian democracy," Stalin said in his letter.
"In the same stretch, the rule of law and personal liberty are the cornerstones of our criminal justice system," he said.
"While it is so, I am saddened and disappointed to note that Manish Sisodia, the elected Deputy Chief Minister of Delhi has been arrested on trumped up allegations and made to undergo all pain and pressure depriving the constitutional guarantee of personal liberty," Stalin mentioned.
"Adulterated allegations bereft of facts have become the tool for such blatant misuse of power," he said.
"I therefore appeal to you to take all steps to uphold the residual reputation of the premier investigating agencies and Constitutional offices during the last nine years of BJP rule, especially the office of the Governor and direct the release of Manish Sisodia unconditionally, who has been arrested by demeaning the due process of law and fundamental principles of our seven decades old Constitution," the Chief Minister said.
