Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal Arrested...

AAP’s massive protest in Delhi…

The ED arrested Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal in the alleged liquor policy scam.

On Friday, 22 March 2024, the Aam Aadmi Party called nationwide protests outside the BJP offices.

The Supreme Court will take up Mr. Kejriwal's petition against his arrest, a day after it denied an urgent hearing in his plea against the raids at his house.

The probe agency will produce the Chief Minister in an ED court.

Due to security arrangements, the police have closed all roads going towards the AAP headquarters, allowing only pedestrians. The AAP has summoned all its office-bearers, ministers, and councilors to the main office at 10 am.

Water cannons and paramilitary forces have been deployed on the DDU road, which leads to the BJP headquarters.

The ITO Metro station will stay shut from 8 am-6 pm on the advice of Delhi Police, the Delhi Metro said.

Mr. Kejriwal's arrest, just weeks ahead of the Lok Sabha elections, has unleashed waves of protest by thousands of party workers and condemnation from the Opposition camp. Congress leader Rahul Gandhi will visit Mr. Kejriwal's family today, said sources.

The AAP has said that Mr. Kejriwal will continue to discharge his chief ministerial duties from jail - a prospect that may create a constitutional crisis, legal experts have said.

Delhi minister Atishi addressed a press conference this morning and called the arrest a "political conspiracy by the BJP".
