Sibal accepts Kejriwal's apology in Vodafone tax revision case

NEW DELHI: Senior Congress leader Kapil Sibal today accepted the apology of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and his deputy over the charges levelled against him and his son in Vodafone tax revision case.

"Today, Kejriwal and Manish Sisodia have accepted that all the charges (levelled) were baseless. He apologised for this. We have accepted the apology. We do not want to fight with anyone," Sibal told reporters here.

In a complaint filed by Sibal's son Amit Sibal in 2013, it was alleged that Kejriwal, Sisodia, lawyer Prashant Bhushan and Shazia Ilmi, who was then an AAP member, had targeted him and his father over the Vodafone tax revision case.


Kejriwal and his deputy Manish Sisodia were today acquitted by a city court after the two tendered an apology to Sibal.

In his letter, Kejriwal said he regretted making the remarks without any verification and accepted that they were based on "unfounded allegations".
