New Delhi (PTI): Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Wednesday turned emotional as he remembered his former deputy Manish Sisodia while inaugurating a new branch of B R Ambedkar School of Specialised Excellence in Bawana.

"I am missing Manish Sisodia today. Manish Sisodia had started this aiming to provide quality education to one and all. They framed false charges against him and jailed him in an unjust manner," Kejriwal said.

He further said Sisodia has been jailed on "false charges" and that, he will be "granted bail very soon."

"I am sure that Manish Sisodia will come out of the jail very soon. Truth always wins. He has been jailed because he has been building good schools and the Aam Aadmi Party is getting popular," the AAP supremo said.

Making a veiled attack on the BJP, Kejriwal further said, "They want to halt the progress of Delhi's education."

"They (BJP) want Delhi's education revolution to come to an end but we will not let that happen. Everyone around the world has the same opinion about government schools in Delhi, that our schools are the best," he claimed.

Jerusalem, Dec 17: An Israeli strike in Gaza killed at least eight people from the same family, most of them women and children, Palestinian medics said Tuesday.

The strike late Monday hit a house in Gaza City's central neighbourhood of Daraj, according to the Health Ministry's ambulance and emergency service.

Among the bodies recovered from the rubble were a father and his three children, and the children's grandmother, according to a casualty list obtained by The Associated Press. There was no immediate comment from the Israeli military on the strike.

Israeli bombardment and offensives in Gaza have killed more than 45,000 Palestinians over the past 14 months, according to the Gaza Health Ministry. The ministry's tally does not distinguish between combatants and civilians, but it says more than of half the dead were women and children.

Israel launched its campaign in retaliation for Hamas' October 7, 2023, attack on southern Israel in which Hamas group killed some 1,200 people and abducted 250 others, around 100 of whom remain in captivity.
