Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal walked out of Tihar Jail on Friday, hours after the Supreme Court granted him interim bail till June 1. Kejriwal left the jail premises accompanied by his wife Sunita Kejriwal, his daughter Harshita and senior AAP leaders including Bhagwant Mann, Atishi, Saurabh Bhardwaj and Sandeep Pathak.
Standing through the sunroof of a car, Kejriwal then addressed AAP workers and supporters amid slogans of ‘Jail Ke Tale Toot Gaye, Kejriwalji Chhoot Gaye’.
Beginning with slogans of ‘Bharat Mata Ki Jai’, ‘Vande Mataram’ and ‘Inquilab Zindabad’, the Delhi CM thanked the people for their blessing and expressed gratitude to the judges of the Supreme Court for granting him bail.
“It feels good to be amongst you all. I had promised to come back soon and here I am…I have a request, we have to save the country from dictatorship. I am fighting against it with all might, but 140 crore people (of the country) will have to come together to fight against it,” he said.
The Delhi CM said he will visit the Hanuman Temple at Connaught Place at 11:00 am on Saturday to pay obeisance to the deity, following which he will address a press conference at the party office at 1:00 pm.
Kejriwal Receives Traditional Welcome At Home
Later in the evening, after the Delhi CM reached home, he was received with garlands by his parents. His mother welcomes him into the house by performing traditional ‘aarti’.
