Aam Aadmi Party leader Durgesh Pathak on Sunday said that his party organised a protest march towards the Bharatiya Janata Party headquarters so that all its leaders could be arrested in one go, adding that the public is facing inconvenience with its leaders getting arrested.
"We said that our leaders are being arrested every day, one after another and it causes problems for the people. Hence we were there so that if they want they can arrest all of us together, we were there for half an hour but no one came," Durgesh Pathak told ANI. Delhi Police on Sunday detained several people who were protesting against the ruling party in the national capital over the arrest of several AAP leaders. The AAP, earlier on Friday, declared a 'Jail Bharo' march to the BJP headquarters in the national capital to protest what they claimed to be arbitrary arrests of its leader at the behest of the Centre. Decrying the arrest of his former aide in the assault case, CM Kejriwal, on Saturday, accused the BJP at the Centre of resorting to a 'Jail Ka Khel' (game of putting leaders in jail) against his party, adding that he would lead a 'Jail Bharo' march to the BJP headquarters on Sunday along with his top party leaders as well as workers. Earlier in the day, elaborate security arrangements were made outside the BJP headquarters ahead of the AAP's 'Jail Bharo' march. Delhi Traffic Police issued an advisory ahead of the AAP protest, warning of possible snarls at DDU Marg, IP Marg, Minto Road and Vikas Marg. Earlier, on Saturday, Kejriwal's former PA was arrested in connection with the alleged assault on Maliwal. He was produced before the Tis Hazari Court, which remanded him in police custody for five days. Vigilance Department, last month, terminated PA Bibhav's service as the CM's personal assistant over a pending criminal case. (ANI)
