Arvind Kejriwal meets Satyendar Jain, calls him ’brave man’

Delhi Chief Minister and Aam Aadmi Party convener Arvind Kejriwal on 28 May met his ailing party leader Satyendar Jain at a hospital and described him as a 'brave man' and 'hero'.

Jain was granted six-week interim bail by the Supreme Court, on medical grounds, last Friday. He has been in Tihar Jail since his arrest by the ED in May last year in connection with a money laundering case.

On Thursday, Jain was admitted to the hospital after he collapsed in prison due to dizziness, party sources had said.

Sharing pictures of his meeting with Jain on Twitter, Kejriwal said, "Met the brave man.......the hero".

The former health minister was first admitted to the Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Hospital, and later, shifted to the the Lok Nayak Jayaprakash (LNJP) Hospital due to breathing problems.

The Supreme Court on Friday last allowed Jain to undergo treatment in a hospital of his choice. It also directed Jain to not talk to the media during his interim bail period that ends on July 11.
