Goa Khabar : Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leaders and volunteers marched to the BJP office today to protest what they termed a “political vendetta” against party supremo Arvind Kejriwal. The demonstration follows a recent Delhi court decision to dismiss the liquor policy case, a move AAP describes as a total vindication of their leadership.
Demands for Apology
During the protest, AAP leaders demanded a formal apology from Goa Chief Minister Pramod Sawant and the “double-engine” Modi-Shah government. They argued that the central government spent years defaming Arvind Kejriwal and Manish Sisodia through baseless allegations.
Key points raised by the demonstrators included:
Complete Discharge: Leaders highlighted that the court has dismissed the charges, effectively clearing the party’s top leadership.
Officer Inquiry: The party noted that the court has reportedly ordered an inquiry into the conduct of the CBI officer involved in the investigation.
Political Defamation: Speakers at the rally claimed the case was a calculated attempt to damage AAP’s reputation and hinder its political growth.
Leaders in Attendance
The protest saw a significant turnout of local party figures and volunteers. Prominent leaders present at the demonstration included:
Valmiki Naik
Gerson Gomes
Sandesh Teleikar-Dessai
Prashant Naik
Micheal Cardozo
Herton Fernandes

The march concluded with leaders reiterating that the “truth has finally prevailed,” calling the court’s decision a major blow to the central government’s investigative agencies.
