'Will come out soon...' Sunita Kejriwal reads out Delhi CM's letter from jail (WATCH)
Sunita Kejriwal, a former IRS officer, and wife of Arvind Kejriwal who has been arrested in the Delhi liquor policy case, today read out a message from him, written in Enforcement Directorate custody.
FollowDays after his arrest, Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal’s wife Sunita Kejriwal on Saturday read out a message from the Delhi Chief Minister who has been arrested in a corruption case linked to the Delhi liquor policy. In a letter sent from jail, Kejriwal stated that numerous forces were attempting to break India and guaranteed the people of Delhi that he would continue in their service.
“There are several forces within and outside India that are weakening the country. We have to be alert, identify these forces and defeat them. Women in Delhi must be thinking that Kejriwal is behind bars. Who knows if they would get Rs 1000? I appeal to them to trust their brother, their son. No jail can keep him behind bars for long. I will come out soon and keep my promise,” Kejriwal wrote.
As she read the letter further, Kejriwal wrote: "Continue working for the society. Do not hate the people from BJP. They are all our brothers and sisters."
"I also appeal to all the workers of Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) that work of social welfare and public welfare should not stop with me going to jail. Don't hate BJP people due to this. They are our brothers and sisters. I will come back soon," Kejriwal said.
