AAP members hold 'Kattar Imandar Holi' celebrations after discharge of leaders

New Delhi: AAP leaders, including former Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal, on Wednesday celebrated what they described as 'Kattar Imandar Holi' at former deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia's residence here. The leaders were seen dancing, singing, distributing sweets and smearing colours on one another during the celebrations. The celebration by the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leaders comes days after a court here on February 27 discharged Kejriwal and Sisodia in the excise policy case and declined to take cognisance of the chargesheet filed by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI). Twenty-one other accused were also discharged in the case. During the celebrations, Kejriwal alleged that a conspiracy had been hatched against the party and its leadership.

"A conspiracy was hatched against us, and the court has proven that the AAP is a 'kattar imaandaar' party and that all its leaders are staunchly honest," he said. Referring to the BJP government's decision to open liquor shops on Holi in the national capital, he said it was an unfortunate move.
