He said that in the last one year, he missed everyone. “We all worked together very honestly. Just like everyone fought at the time of independence, similarly we are fighting for good education and schools,” he wrote.
Former Delhi deputy chief minister and senior Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Manish Sisodia has written another letter from Tihar jail to the people of his assembly constituency (Patparganj). The jailed politician compared his imprisonment in connection with the probe into the excise policy case with atrocities committed by Britishers on freedom fighters.
Emphasising that he would soon walk out of jail, the AAP leader said that in the last year, he missed everyone and thanked the people of his constituency for taking care of his ailing wife.
“See you soon outside. Long live the education revolution, love you all. In the last year, I missed everyone. Everyone worked together very honestly. Just as everyone fought during the time of independence, similarly we are fighting for education and schools today. Despite the dictatorship of the Britishers, the dream of independence came true. Similarly, one day every child will get a proper and good education,” he wrote.
Calling Mahatma Gandhi and Nelson Mandela his inspirations, the AAP leader said even Britishers put these revolutionaries in jail for many years on ‘false charges.
“The British were also very proud of their power. The British also used to put people in jail on false charges. The British kept Gandhi in jail for many years. The British also jailed Nelson Mandela. These people are my inspiration and you all are my strength. A good education and schools are necessary to be a developed country. Now I feel relieved after reading the news of Punjab Education Revolution. My love for you all increased further after being in jail,” he wrote.
Sisodia also thanked the people of his constituency for taking care of his wife and said, “Seema gets emotional talking about all of you. You all take care of yourselves.”
Sisodia, whose role is being probed by both ED and CBI, is currently in judicial custody. his bail hearing is on April 6. Earlier, the CBI counsel had told the court that the investigation was at a critical stage and releasing Sisodia on bail might impede the ongoing probe or lead to his evasion of justice.
