Chandigarh: The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Punjab staged a state-wide protest against the dictatorship of the BJP, their misuse of central agencies, and for keeping Arvind Kejriwal in jail in a false case. The AAP leaders said that agencies don’t have any proof of any scam against Arvind Kejriwal or any AAP leader but they are keeping them in jail. They said that Arvind Kejriwal is a political prisoner and they demanded his immediate release.
Thousands of people gathered in a state-level protest organized against the arrest and continued mistreatment of the AAP National Convenor & Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal near Gurudwara Sri Amb Sahib, Mohali. AAP cabinet ministers, MLAs, party office bearers, and workers joined this protest in large numbers. AAP Punjab general secretary Harchand Singh Barsat convened the stage and strongly criticized the Modi government for their unconstitutional and undemocratic actions against Arvind Kejriwal.
‘BJP knows only Arvind Kejriwal and AAP can take on them’
Addressing the gathering during the protest, Cabinet Minister Brahm Shanker Jimpa said that “ED and CBI are being misused blatantly. After the Gujarat elections, the BJP understood that if anyone can give tough competition to them, it is Arvind Kejriwal’s Aam Aadmi Party. He added that the AAP has done revolutionary work in the field of education and health in Delhi and Punjab.”
“The word was spreading in the entire country, so the BJP got scared and started arresting the AAP leaders under a false case. The truth never gets scared and the truth cannot be suppressed for long. The witnesses in this case had directly given money to the BJP. Arvind Kejriwal got bail from the session court and then he was about to get bail from the Supreme Court then the CBI wrongfully arrested him,” he said.
‘First ED arrested and kept Arvind Kejriwal in jail in a false case’
Minister Lalji Singh Bhullar said “Today we all have gathered in support of our beloved leader Arvind Kejriwal and the INDIA alliance is staging such protests nationwide to oppose the misuse of central agencies. First, the ED put Arvind Kejriwal in jail in a false case and when Modi and Amit Shah came to know that he had gotten bail, the CBI filed another case and stopped Arvind Kejriwal ji’s bail. If there had been any scam, then the agencies would have found some money or money trail, but the agencies did not get even ₹1 because there was no corruption or scam.”
