The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has announced a nationwide protest on June 29 against the illegal arrest of Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI). Following an important meeting at the party headquarters led by National General Secretary (Organisation) Dr. Sandeep Pathak, AAP officials, including MPs, MLAs, and councilors, resolved to take to the streets. The meeting detailed the blatant misuse of central investigative agencies by the BJP government to target CM Arvind Kejriwal. Dr. Sandeep Pathak declared that AAP workers nationwide will hold massive demonstrations to oppose the BJP’s tactics and the arrest of their leader.
AAP National General Secretary (Organisation) Dr. Sandeep Pathak said that the BJP’s central government is misusing all the central investigation agencies for its political vendetta. The CBI did not make CM Arvind Kejriwal an accused in the so-called liquor case for the last two years. But when the BJP felt that CM Arvind Kejriwal was going to get bail from the Supreme Court, they brought the CBI forward. Their aim is not to investigate any case nor do they have anything to do with the law. The BJP wants to keep Arvind Kejriwal in jail by any means, keep him away from elections and finish the AAP. Therefore, the BJP is misusing central institutions to meet its political objectives.
The AAP National General Secretary (Organisation) further added that the AAP has decided that a massive protest will be held across the country including Delhi on June 29 against the misuse of central investigation agencies and illegal arrest of CM Arvind Kejriwal. “A meeting was held with all the MPs, MLAs, councilors and office bearers of the party. In this, it was decided to hold a massive protest across the country on June 29 and it was discussed in detail. During this, everyone expressed confidence that the entire public of Delhi is with CM Arvind Kejriwal and we all will fight this battle against injustice along with the people of Delhi,” he added.
It is noteworthy that AAP’s National Convenor and Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal has been arrested by the CBI. The AAP says that the trial court had granted bail to CM Arvind Kejriwal in the so-called liquor case. The very next day, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) went to the High Court and got a stay on Arvind Kejriwal’s bail. The stay on bail by the High Court in this case was about to be lifted when the CBI woke up from a deep sleep of two years and arrested CM Arvind Kejriwal.
Earlier, the CBI had called the AAP Supremo for questioning as a witness for the first time on 16 April 2023. At that time, it did not make him an accused and for 14 months. Now suddenly the CBI woke up after so much time and arrested the Delhi Chief Minister. The CBI took this action when the Supreme Court was about to lift the High Court’s stay on the bail order given by the trial court. The CBI has no evidence. It is just talking nonsense. CM Arvind Kejriwal has been implicated in a false and baseless case at the behest of the BJP government at the Center.
