Manish Sisodia: In matters of character, crime, no one will be spared

Deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia, and AAP’s senior leader, on Saturday said that the party’s decision to suspend Sandeep Kumar’s primary membership, four days after he was sacked from the post of women and child development minister over an “objectionable” CD in which he was shown in a compromising position with a woman, was morally justified.

“What Mr Kumar has done is completely wrong and he has been suspended from primary membership of the party. Disciplinary committee has been handed over the matter and whatever its decision, the party will abide by it,” Mr Sisodia said.

He also said that Mr Kumar’s “behaviour was wrong” and violated the party’s principles.

“Sandeep Kumar’s action cannot be defended.... No such behaviour will be tolerated. I have said this on the very first day that in the matter of character, corruption and crime, no one will be spared. And, if tomorrow, even if it comes to me, then the same action will be taken against me as well,” he said.
