NEW DELHI: The Congress has officially maintained a studied and intriguing silence over the arrest of former Delhi deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on February 26 in the excise police case. The stand adopted by the Congress also indicates its continued strained relationship with Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal-led Aam Aadmi Party (AAP).
Most senior Congress leaders have been avoiding a direct comment on the arrest of Sisodia. So far, no press conference has been held on the issue from the Congress podium. There has been no post on social media from either the official Congress handle or from that of the spokespersons.
