Arvind Kejriwal Sends Non-Terrorist Message From Jail, BJP MP Responds

Arvind Kejriwal has sent a message addressing the people of Delhi and the country, emphasizing that he is not a terrorist and has worked for their welfare. AAP MP Sanjay Singh raised concerns over the treatment of Mr. Kejriwal during his imprisonment, alleging that he was being subjected to unfair treatment, including restricted visits with family members and constant surveillance. Mr. Singh, who was previously arrested in a money laundering case linked to Delhi’s liquor policy, highlighted the challenges faced by Mr. Kejriwal in his current legal battle. He also criticized the government, alleging that there is a deliberate attempt to undermine Mr. Kejriwal’s morale and insult his family and party leaders.

Speaking to the media, Mr. Singh praised Mr. Kejriwal’s dedication to public service and resilience, stating that attempts to break him will only make him stronger. He also criticized the discriminatory treatment Mr. Kejriwal is allegedly facing in detention. Bhagwant Mann, Punjab Chief Minister and AAP leader, also expressed dismay over the treatment Mr. Kejriwal is receiving in jail, asserting that he is being deprived of basic facilities and compared to a “hardcore criminal” despite his contributions to education, healthcare, and public welfare programs. In response, BJP MP Manoj Tiwari refuted the accusations by AAP, stating that they are not labeling Mr. Kejriwal as a terrorist, but rather as corrupt and an opponent of Delhi’s interests.

He emphasized that the law must take its course in Mr. Kejriwal’s legal proceedings, and highlighted his alleged shortcomings in addressing the needs of the people.
