AAP leader and former deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia on Saturday paid tributes to Mahatma Gandhi at the Rajghat memorial, a day after he was released from jail in the Delhi liquor policy case.
He reached the memorial after offering prayers at the Hanuman temple in Connaught Place.
Mr Sisodia was accompanied by several Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leaders, including MP Sanjay Singh and ministers Atishi and Saurabh Bharadwaj.
The Supreme Court on Friday gave Mr Sisodia bail in corruption and money laundering cases linked to the alleged liquor policy "scam" and said his long incarceration of 17 months without trial had deprived him of the right to speedy justice.
After visiting the temple, Mr Sisodia said, "May Lord Hanuman bless all the people of Delhi".
He hoped that with the blessing of Lord Hanuman, Delhi Chief Minister and AAP supremo Arvind Kejriwal, who is in jail in the case, will also be released soon.
प्राचीन हनुमान मंदिर जाकर हनुमान जी का आशीर्वाद लिया और हनुमान चालीसा का पाठ किया।

ये हनुमान जी की मुझ पर कृपा थी जो मैं आज आप सब के बीच हूँ। हनुमान जी की मुख्यमंत्री @ArvindKejriwal जी पर भी विशेष कृपा हैं, वे जल्द ही हम सब के बीच होंगे।

Mr Sisodia will visit the AAP headquarters on the DDU Marg around 12 noon to address party workers and leaders.
After walking out of the Tihar jail on Friday evening, Mr Sisodia said he got bail due to the power of the Constitution, and asserted that the same power will ensure the release of Kejriwal.
Mr Sisodia was arrested by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on February 26 last year for purported irregularities in the formulation and implementation of the now-scrapped Delhi liquor policy 2021-22.
