Satyendra Jain walks out of Tihar Jail after 2 years, says "Atishi ji you will also have to go to jail"

New Delhi [India], October 18 (ANI): AAP leader and Delhi's former minister Satyendra Jain walked out of Tihar Jail on Friday evening after Rouse Avenue Court granted him bail in the money laundering case today.
Delhi Chief Minister Atishi and other senior AAP leaders, including Manish Sisodia and Sanjay Singh greeted Jain as he stepped out of the jail premises.
After being released on bail, Satyendar Jain took a dig at the BJP and said in a lighter vein that now CM Atishi will also have to go to jail as the rest other leaders have come out.
"Arvind Kejriwal does work for the common public. He used to say that the path of politics is difficuit and you'll have to face the consequences (Aag ka dariya hai aur doob ke jana hai). Atishi ji you will also have to go to jail. In July 2013, I got a ticket from the AAP and they arrested me that time also. So do not be scare. Keep supporting the Aam Aadmi Party, we will continue to fight against injustice," he said.
Jain further alleged that his imprisonment was a deliberate attempt to hinder his efforts, particularly in cleaning the River Yamuna, a promise made by Kejriwal.
"Arvind Kejriwal, Manish Sisodia, Sanjay Singh and I have come out of jail, and we will complete all the stalled work in Delhi now. Arvind Kejriwal had promised to clean the River Yamuna. Based on his promise, we were working day and night to clean the River Yamuna. I was arrested to stop this," the AAP leader said.
Delhi CM Atishi expressed her happiness over Jain's bail and said, "Satya ki vijay hui hai (Truth triumphed). She also showed a victory sign as she arrived outside Tihar Jail.
AAP leader Manish Sisodia said that the hero of the AAP has come out. "Bahut khushi ki baat hai, hamara hero wapis aa gaya hai," he said.
Sweets were also distributed outside Tihar Jail ahead of the release of Satyendra Jain, who was granted bail from Rouse Avenue Court in the money laundering case.
Earlier, Counsel for Satyendar Jain, Vivek Jain said that the trial court has extended liberty and there are no special conditions.
"Trail court has granted bail to Satyendar Jain and said that he ahs a right under article 21 to be not incarcerated indefinitely when the trial has not even commenced. Therefore, the trial court has extended liberty...There are no special conditions...He should be coming out today late evening," he said.
AAP leader Sanjay Singh saluted Satyendar Jain's passion saying that he is the person who gave Delhi the model of Mohalla Clinic, free medicine and various health schemes.
"This is good and big news for AAP leaders and workers. He is the person who gave delhi the model of Mohalla Clinic, free medicine and various health schemes...873 days he was kept in jail and he lost 36 kg weight. I salute Satyendar Jain's passion," Singh said.
Sisodia earlier slammed BJP and said that the party levelled false allegations against him, Satyendar Jain and Arvind Kejriwal and their ED jailed them based on those allegations.
"It makes me happy that our party's senior leader Satyendar Jain has been granted bail...PM Modi and BJP should apologise to the people of Delhi because Satyendar Jain was sent to jail, the development work at Delhi hospitals and mohalla clinics had been stalled. BJP sent me, Satyendar Jain and Arvind Kejriwal to jail, but they couldn't find a single penny from our place. They levelled false allegations against us and their ED jailed us based on those allegations," he said.
Delhi Minister Gopal Rai said that the AAP has become even stronger after the bail granted to Satyendar Jain.
"This is good news for the people of Delhi. I thank the Court that today they have given a big decision. The BJP government tried everything in their power to put our leaders in jail and today all leaders are out of jail...We have become even stronger after the bail granted to Satyendar Jain," Rai said.
