ਸੱਚ ਨੂੰ ਚਾਹੇ ਕੁਝ ਸਮੇਂ ਲਈ ਦਬਾਉਣ ਦੀ ਕੋਸ਼ਿਸ਼ ਕੀਤੀ, ਪਰ ਸੱਚ ਨੂੰ ਹਰਾਇਆ ਨਹੀਂ ਜਾ ਸਕਦਾ। ਮਾਣਯੋਗ ਅਦਾਲਤ ਵੱਲੋਂ ਜ਼ਮਾਨਤ ਮਿਲਣ ਨਾਲ ਇੱਕ ਵਾਰ ਫਿਰ ਸੱਚਾਈ ਦੀ ਜਿੱਤ ਹੋਈ ਹੈ।

He dedicated the development to party workers, youth, women and ordinary citizens who, according to him, remained steadfast during difficult times. Majithia particularly acknowledged supporters who allegedly faced police action, raids, legal cases and other hardships because of their association with him and the party.
Paying tribute to Akali workers, he said their commitment during adversity reflected their belief in justice and truth. He maintained that many supporters stood firm despite pressure and refused to abandon their principles.
The SAD leader said the struggle extended beyond his personal legal battle and represented the concerns of many Punjabis who felt victimised by political vendetta. He also thanked the judiciary and his legal team, saying the court had reached its decision after carefully examining the facts presented before it.
Majithia said the court's order reaffirmed the principle that justice may take time but eventually prevails. However, he stressed that his political and social fight was far from over.
He pledged to continue raising issues affecting Punjab, including drug abuse, gangsterism, unemployment, the agrarian crisis and what he termed political oppression. Sending a message to his supporters, Majithia said no amount of pressure, imprisonment or legal action could weaken his resolve.
In a sharp political remark, he declared that the “Tiger is still alive,” insisting that his commitment to Punjab and its people remained unchanged. He reiterated that he would continue speaking for the rights of Punjabis and challenging injustice for as long as he could.
