• MY COURAGE HAS INCREASED 100 TIMES: CM

The ruling, which follows a significant legal battle, has sparked jubilant celebrations within the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and its supporters across the country.

The top court's decision was anticipated after it had reserved its verdict on September 5. The court's ruling criticised the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) for arresting Kejriwal seemingly to obstruct his release on bail in an ongoing Enforcement Directorate (ED) case. This decision has been hailed by AAP leaders as a victory for the Constitution and the rule of law.

AAP national convenor and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal expressed his resolve upon his release, stating, "Today I want to say that I have come out of jail and my courage has increased 100 times. The walls of their jail cannot weaken the courage of Kejriwal, I will pray to God to continue showing me the right path and I will continue fighting against all the power who are trying to weaken the country and divide the country."
