Attacking the BJP-led Centre, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said the country’s freedom, Constitution and democracy is in danger and called upon Punjabis to once again be at the forefront to save it.
The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader said the people of Punjab played a big role in the country’s freedom movement.
“So many sacrificed their lives for the sake of freedom. Today, our country’s freedom, Constitution and democracy is in danger,” Mr. Kejriwal said during a townhall programme with the traders and industrialists in Ferozepur.
Mr. Kejriwal, who is on interim bail until June 1 in the Delhi excise policy case, sought support of the people of Punjab and said that they need to come forward and be at forefront in the fight to save the Constitution, democracy and freedom in this country.
Referring to his arrest, Mr. Kejriwal said, “On March 16, the general elections were announced and they arrested me on March 21. They arrested me, my party leaders Sanjay Singh, Manish Sisodia and Satyendar Jain, and then Modi says in Delhi let’s fight election.” Targeting the BJP-led Centre, the AAP leader said that several opposition leaders have been jailed and “then they say, let’s fight election”. – PTI
