AAP leaders raised slogans against the dictatorial BJP government at the center and burnt the effigy of PM
Punjab Newsline, Jalandhar/Chandigarh, June 29-
AAP leaders held a big protest in Jalandhar against the arrest of AAP national convenor and Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal by the CBI. AAP leaders called Kejriwal's arrest dictatorship of the Modi government and said that the BJP is trying to trap Kejriwal by misusing the ED and CBI.
During the protest, AAP leaders raised slogans against the BJP government at the center and burnt the effigy of PM Narendra Modi. Dozens of AAP MLAs, ministers, MPs, party officials, chairmen and thousands of leaders and workers from across the state participated in the protest. The AAP candidate for Jalandhar West Assembly by-election Mohinder Bhagat also participated in the protest.
Aam Aadmi Party Punjab's working president Principal Budh Ram attacked the BJP and said that BJP and Modi have only one motive that is to finish the AAP and Kejriwal by any means. BJP is afraid of Arvind Kejriwal's honest politics. That is why CBI and ED filed false cases against Arvind Kejriwal and deliberately put him in jail.
AAP minister Dr. Balbir Singh warned the Modi government and said that Arvind Kejriwal should be released immediately or else this movement will intensify. He said that on one hand BJP is keeping a sitting Chief Minister in jail without any evidence and any money trail, while on the other hand, a case was registered against Karnataka's former BJP Chief Minister VS Yeddyurappa under POCSO Act in the case of molestation of a minor girl but he was given bail because he belonged to their own party.
In fact, the BJP is scared of the works of the AAP government in Delhi and Punjab. That is why it is deliberately trying to implicate AAP leaders in false cases. He said that BJP has inducted all the corrupt leaders of the country into its party and has given them important positions like Chief Ministers, Ministers and Deputy Chief Minister. Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sharma and Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar and Minister Chhagan Bhujbal are examples of this.AAP MP from Sangrur Gurmeet Singh Meet Hayer said that Arvind Kejriwal was about to get bail from the Supreme Court, that is why the CBI deliberately arrested him. He said that even a year ago, the CBI had questioned and investigated Arvind Kejriwal but it did not find anything. He said that in the case of Arvind Kejriwal, this is the first time in the country that the investigating agency reached the High Court without getting the bail copy from the lower court.
