AAP minister Dr. Balbir Singh demanded Arvind Kejriwal’s immediate release, warning the Modi government to expect heightened protests.

Dr. Balbir Singh accused the BJP of targeting AAP leaders with false cases, fearing AAP’s initiatives in Delhi and Punjab.

Meet Hayer Criticizes CBI’s Arrest of Arvind Kejriwal

AAP MP Gurmeet Singh Meet Hayer claimed that Arvind Kejriwal was about to get bail from the Supreme Court when the CBI arrested him intentionally. Hayer criticized the CBI for approaching the High Court without Kejriwal’s lower court bail copy, a first in India, after their year-long investigation found nothing.

Meet Hayer said that assembly elections are going to be held in Delhi after six months. The BJP has not been able to defeat Arvind Kejriwal there till date. The people of Delhi gave a historic majority and made Arvind Kejriwal the Chief Minister twice. Therefore, now the BJP is trying to win the Delhi elections through ED and CBI. He stated that 50 years ago, the country experienced a declared emergency, but for the past 10 years, the BJP government has been imposing an undeclared emergency in the country.

Minister Gurmeet Singh Khuddian said that CBI’s arrest clearly shows that BJP deliberately wants to implicate Arvind Kejriwal in false cases He said the revolutionary work by the Arvind Kejriwal government in education and health in Delhi has kept BJP awake. That’s why BJP has jailed Delhi’s Education Minister Manish Sisodia, Health Minister Satyendra Jain, and Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal with false cases. He added BJP can try anything but cannot stop Arvind Kejriwal.

Dhaliwal Criticizes Arrest of Delhi’s Chief Minister

Minister Kuldeep Singh Dhaliwal criticized the unprecedented imprisonment of Delhi’s Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, emphasizing that such an event had never occurred in the country’s history. He accused the Modi government of adopting a dictatorial and aggressive approach akin to Hitlerism and hooliganism.  We will fight against Arvind Kejriwal’s arrest from the streets to the Parliament. He said that we will fight this battle on every front and will win.

The entire case is false and fake. The Modi government is harassing AAP leaders through ED and CBI. The investigating agencies do not have any evidence against anyone. He said that CBI’s action against Arvind Kejriwal is completely illegal and unconstitutional. He should be released as soon as possible.

Aam Aadmi Party Punjab General Secretary and Mandi Board Chairman Harchand Singh Barsat strongly condemned Arvind Kejriwal’s arrest by the CBI. He stated that the ED and CBI lack evidence against him. He accused them of conspiring to unjustly keep Kejriwal in jail, labeling it as the height of dictatorship. Barsat criticized the Modi government for allegedly undermining democracy through misuse of the ED and CBI. He pledged firm opposition to this dictatorship and vowed to fight against it vigorously.

In Chandigarh, AAP leaders also protested against Kejriwal’s arrest by the CBI. Police detained protesters and prevented them from reaching the BJP office.

The Chandigarh unit of the Aam Aadmi Party lambasted the BJP government, accusing it of manipulating the ED and CBI to incarcerate Arvind Kejriwal. They asserted that BJP’s schemes will be thwarted, and truth will ultimately prevail.
