Hazare welcomes Kejriwal's discharge, says judiciary 'supreme institution'
Anna Hazare has praised the Delhi court for clearing former Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal and others in the excise policy scam, saying the court had clearly stated Kejriwal had no role in wrongdoing and that its decision must be accepted.
Speaking from Ralegan Siddhi, Hazare reminded everyone to respect court decisions, no matter their politics, and recalled how Kejriwal and Manish Sisodia once volunteered with him during the 2011 anti-corruption movement.
Hazare hopes Kejriwal will now serve society
Kejriwal was discharged after spending 155 days behind bars. The court also criticized investigators for weak evidence.
Hazare admitted he'd been critical during the probe but said that was before any verdict—now, he hopes Kejriwal will focus on serving society.
As Hazare put it: "The judiciary remains the supreme institution in the country."
