National News: The Enforcement Directorate carried out a raid at AAP Delhi Convenor Saurabh Bharadwaj’s residence that lasted nearly 18 hours. Officers searched documents, interrogated family members, and examined every corner of the house. Manish Sisodia later said the raid was only drama, meant to create headlines instead of real action. He questioned why such long raids never show any solid evidence. According to him, this was another example of political vendetta aimed at silencing opposition voices.
Sisodia meets Bharadwaj
Soon after the raid, senior AAP leader Manish Sisodia visited Bharadwaj at his home. The meeting was emotional, as Bharadwaj touched Sisodia’s feet and both leaders hugged. Sisodia said Bharadwaj’s courage in the face of pressure was a misaal for all party workers. He stressed that AAP is one parivaar and no raid or intimidation can break their unity. For Sisodia, the visit was also a show of solidarity to reassure the Bharadwaj family.
Raid as political theatre
Sisodia alleged that raids like these are being used as political theatre. He said the real maksad was not investigation but to distract people’s attention from important public issues. According to him, ED has become a tool to spread fear through long searches and flashy headlines. He added that people can clearly see the difference between real investigations and political nautanki. His remarks underlined how the opposition views such raids as pressure tactics.
Praising Bharadwaj’s resilience
Manish Sisodia highlighted that despite 18 hours of constant questioning, Bharadwaj remained firm and calm. He called Bharadwaj’s himmat a symbol of resistance, saying it inspires every AAP worker across the country. He pointed out that while agencies come with intimidation, the leaders of AAP continue to stand strong for the awaam. Sisodia praised Bharadwaj’s family too, saying their composure during the raid was extraordinary and will be remembered as a sign of unity.
Agencies under criticism
The AAP leader criticized the Enforcement Directorate’s working style. He said the agency is now being seen less as a corruption watchdog and more as a political weapon. According to Sisodia, these raids don’t scare the party but expose the nervousness of those in power. He asked why agencies spend long hours at opposition leaders’ homes but rarely question ruling party figures. His comments reflected the growing mistrust of institutions among opposition parties.
Party vows to resist
Sisodia assured that AAP will not step back from its mission. He said the fight is not just against corruption charges but also against injustice and misuse of power. According to him, the party’s unity is its biggest strength. Leaders and workers across Delhi and the nation are standing shoulder to shoulder with Bharadwaj. Sisodia said such raids may continue but the awaam knows the truth and will not be misled.
AAP’s message to supporters
Ending his statement, Sisodia said every attempt to intimidate AAP leaders will fail. He emphasized that the party draws its power from the awaam and will keep fighting for their haq. He urged supporters to stay strong, promising that no conspiracy or raid can break their determination. For him, Bharadwaj’s courage was a fresh reminder that AAP’s battle is not just political but also moral. He concluded that their struggle will go on until justice and transparency prevail.
