CHANDIGARH, February 27, 2026: Punjab Vidhan Sabha Speaker Kultar Singh Sandhwan stated on Friday that the court’s judgment discharging all accused in the excise policy case serves as a powerful reaffirmation of constitutional morality. The Speaker maintained that the dismissal of charges against 23 individuals, including former Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia, proves that the allegations failed to withstand judicial scrutiny.
The Speaker noted that the invocation of a democratically elected Chief Minister’s name without substantive evidence raises profound concerns regarding institutional propriety. He affirmed that the court’s direction to take departmental action against the Investigating Officer underscores the necessity of accountability within the legal framework.
“Arvind Kejriwal emerges not merely acquitted, but vindicated,” Sandhwan declared in a press statement. He asserted that the AAP National Convenor represents a modern-day visionary whose governance is rooted in transparency and public service. The Speaker maintained that the verdict reinforces the perception that the leadership was subjected to vendetta politics.
Sandhwan further stated that in a constitutional democracy, integrity ultimately withstands intimidation. He noted that the journey through this legal challenge reflects the moral courage of the leadership. The Speaker affirmed that democracy is strengthened when justice prevails, describing the judgment as a testament to the enduring principle of the rule of law.
