9 Oppn leaders, including Kejriwal and Mamata, wrote to PM Modi protesting Sisodia's imprisonment

Eight opposition leaders, including Mamata Banerjee of the Trinamool Congress, Uddhav Thackeray of the Shiv Sena (UBT), Sharad Pawar of the NCP, and K Chandrashekar Rao of the BRS, sent a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday denouncing the arrest of former Delhi deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia by the Central Bureau of Investigation in the alleged liquor scam.“Manish Sisodia is recognised globally for transforming Delhi's school education. His arrest will be cited worldwide as an example of a political witch-hunt and further confirm what the world was only suspecting-that India's democratic values stand threatened under an authoritarian BJP regime," the letter read.“It is clear that these agencies have their priorities misplaced. Following the publication of an international forensic financial research report, SBI and LIC have reportedly lost over ₹78,000 crores in market capitalisation of their shares due to exposure to a certain firm. Why have the central agencies not been pressed into service to investigate the firm's financial irregularities despite the public money at stake?” the letter added.

Without mentioning the conglomerate, the letter criticised the "blatant exploitation of central agencies" and questioned why the "financial irregularities" of the Adani Group have not been looked into. The leaders of several Opposition parties said that the "investigation agencies go slow" on issues involving those who join the BJP, citing examples such as Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma and former TMC leader Suvendu Adhikari.Following eight hours of questioning regarding potential anomalies in the Delhi excise policy, Manish Sisodia was detained by the CBI on February 26. After serving a 5-day detention, his CBI custody was again extended by two days by a Delhi court on Saturday.
