Om Prakash Chautala

Former Haryana Chief Minister Om Prakash Chautala released on Friday from Delhi’s Tihar Jail after serving a 10-year term following a conviction in a teachers recruitment scam.

Chautala, who is out on parole, reached Tihar jail on Friday and completed the formalities of his release. Director General (Delhi Prisons), Sandeep Goel, said, after necessary formalities, Chautala has been released.

Chautala, his son Ajay, and 53 others were convicted on January 13, 2013, by a Delhi court for illegally recruiting 3,206 basic teachers in Haryana in 1999-2000 when the INLD chief was the chief minister.

A CBI probe was ordered by the Supreme Court on a petition by IAS officer Sanjeev Kumar, who accused the leader of taking bribes to recruit teachers and said he was forced to change the original list of selected candidates.

Last month, the Delhi government had passed an order granting a six-month special remission to those who have served nine-and-half years of their 10-year prison sentence to decongest jails in view of the Covid-19 pandemic.

The 86-year-old President of the Indian National Lok Dal (INLD) and the former Chief Minister, sentenced in 2013, completed his prison term two months ahead of schedule on account of a special remission granted to around 20 convicts who had less than six months of their terms remaining. According to officials, since Chautala has already served nine years and nine months of his sentence, he was eligible to get out of prison.

As on February 21, he had two months and 27 days of jail time left which has been counted as remitted.

INLD, which has no MLAs in the current Haryana Assembly, will hope for a revival with Chautala’s return. However, Chautala will not be able to contest elections for the next six years owing to his conviction.

Despite that, the four-time Chief Minister’s return is likely to boost the party’s chances given his charisma, oratory, and ability to turn crises into opportunities.

In other India News, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Friday slammed the Central government over delay in Covid vaccination and tweeted that July has come but vaccines are still not in India, with the hashtag #wherearevaccines.

My name is Arvind Kejriwal and I am not terrorist: Sanjay Singh reads Delhi CM’s message from Tihar Jail

Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Sanjay Singh today read a message of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal during a press confrence. The AAP leader said that  Kejriwal  has sent a message from Tihar Jail in which he said that he is not a terrorist.

Sanjay Singh said, Tihar jail conveyed a message from Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal, who served like a son and a brother for the country and the people of Delhi. The Aap MP further read CM’s message, which says, “My name is Arvind Kejriwal and I am not a terrorist.”

Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann was compelled to meet the three-time elected chief minister of Delhi through a glass. This clearly shows that the prime minister dislikes Arvind Kejriwal,” the AAP MP claimed.

Arvind Kejriwal is among the people arrested by the Enforcement Directorate in connection with the Delhi excise policy-linked money laundering case. Arvind Kejriwal is being held under judicial custody at the Tihar jail at the moment.

A Delhi court extended Arvind Kejriwal’s judicial custody on Monday until April 23. The Delhi High Court’s decision to reject the AAP national convenor’s appeal against his ED arrest and subsequent remand in the excise policy issue was challenged by the convenor in an earlier Supreme Court application.

Sanjay Singh also claimed during the press conference that efforts are made to demoralize every day. He also said, Arvind Kejriwal is this person, he is not formed of the same clay. The more you attempt to break him, the more resilient he will become. CM Bhagwant Mann broke down in tears yesterday at the meeting. They are all affected by this, but the BJP and PM Modi should be ashamed of themselves, the AAP MP claimed.

Bhagwant Mann met Arvind Kejriwal in Tihar jail on Monday, where he claimed he was being treated like a terrorist. Meanwhile, the AAP announced that its Delhi government would begin operating from jail in a proper format, with the chief minister scheduled to meet with two ministers starting next week.
