Manish Sisodia’s resignation letter
In his resignation letter to CM Kejriwal, Sisodia made veiled attacks at the BJP and said that the are ‘scared’ of Kejriwal’s politics. He said that he is not afraid to be jailed and many were even hanged till death for following the path of the truth.
“I worked for 8 year with honesty but now corruption are levelled against me. I know God knows these allegations are false. This is nothing more than the conspiracy of those people who are scared of Kejriwal’s politics.You (Kejriwal) are their target, not me because people of the country are looking up to you as a leader who has a Vision for the country.”
“Several FIRs have been registered against me and more are in the offing. They left no stone unturned to ensure that I leave you. I was threatened and offered bribe, but I dud not relent. As a result, they arrested me for not bowing before them. I am not scared of their jails and am not the first person to be arrested for following the path of truth. I have read countless stories of people who fought against the British and were jailed on false charges. Some were even hanged till death,” he said.
“They don’t see him among the leaders who believe in ‘jumlas’ as Kejriwal does what he speaks,” he added.
The former minister said nobody in the world can neither force him to be corrupt nor compromise his integrity. “Even if I wish, I cannot force anyone to do corrupt deeds nor shirk my work,” he said.
