AAP accuses Centre of trying to silence 'Sanjay Singh'

The AAP on Thursday (October 5) said that the Centre was trying to silence its MP Sanjay Singh by arresting him, and challenged the BJP-led Union government to make public any evidence they have against him.

Addressing a press conference in the capital, senior AAP leader and minister Atishi claimed that over 500 officers of the ED and CBI conducted raids at various places linked to the AAP leaders in the last 15 months but "haven't found a single evidence" against them.

"They raided Manish Sisodia's residence, offices and several other places but they couldn't find evidence of corruption of even a single penny. And now, Sanjay Singh has been targeted," she said.

"The ED officers raided every inch of Sanjay Singh's residence but couldn't find anything. They arrested him because he constantly raised issues of Centre's corruption," she added.

Atishi further said that if there is any evidence against their leader, the Centre "should make it public".
