TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ Days after apologising to former Punjab minister Bikram Singh Majithia, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal continued with his string of apologies on Monday, the latest recipients being senior advocate Amit Sibal, son of former Union minister Kapil Sibal, and Union minister Nitin Gadkari.
Following the apologies, Kejriwal and Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia were acquitted in two separate defamation cases lodged against them by Gadkari and Sibal.
Although Sisodia said they were not interested in any “fight of ego” and did not want to spend time in legal wrangling but in the service of people, former Aam Aadmi Party leader Anjali Damania attacked Kejriwal, asking him why had he published a list of 20 “corrupt politicians”, if he wanted to “back off meekly”.
Kejriwal and Sisodia tendered an apology to Sibal, in a criminal defamation case filed against them by the senior advocate. The duo, in a letter, apologised for making “unfounded allegations” against Sibal. The letter was submitted to Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Samar Vishal.
