Punjab Newsline, New Delhi/Chandigarh, June 27-
On Thursday, all the MPs of AAP rotested against the arrest of AAP convenor and Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal by the CBI outside the parliament and said that this is a gross misuse of investigation agencies.
AAP MPs also boycotted the President's address and said that we have full respect for the President but the address is written by the government. That is why we are not attending this program.
AAP MP from Sangrur Gurmeet Singh Meet Hayer said that the Modi government talks big about democracy and the Constitution but in reality, on the contrary, the Constitution and democracy are being crushed in the entire country.
Investigative agencies are being openly misused from Delhi to West Bengal, Jharkhand and Maharashtra. Current Chief Minister of Delhi Arvind Kejriwal was put in jail. Current CM of Jharkhand Hemant Soren was put in jail. Our Education Minister Manish Sisodia and Health Minister Satyendra Jain have been arrested and kept in jail for about two years. AAP MP Sanjay Singh was kept in jail for six months without any reason. This is very dangerous for the democracy of the country.
He said that Arvind Kejriwal was arrested by the CBI in a hurry when he had every possibility of getting bail from the Supreme Court because he had got bail from the trial court. This is a big example of dictatorship.
He said that the misuse of investigation agencies is very unfortunate for the democracy of the country. Therefore, the Prime Minister should stop its misuse and clarify his stand on this matter. He should also speak on the atrocities being committed against Arvind Kejriwal and release him as soon as possible.
Meet Hayer said that today we have started a protest against the arrest of Arvind Kejriwal at our party level. Talks are also going on with the leaders of the INDIA Alliance. This issue will be discussed with them too and with their support this voice will be raised louder.
