AAP activists protested today against the arrest of Delhi Deputy Chief Minister and Education Minister Manish Sisodia by the CBI outside the BJP headquarters in Chandigarh.
AAP activists Harpal Singh Cheema, Anmol Gagan Maan, Lalchand Kataruchak, Bram Shanker Jimpa, Dr Balbir Singh, Harjot Bains, Harbhajan Singh ETO, Laljit Singh Bhullar, Chetan Singh Jouramajra and Dr Inderbir Singh Nijjar along with at least 10 ministers have all been arrested.
The Punjab Mandi Board was also led by AAP general secretary Harchand Singh Barsat today.
After spending an hour at Sector 39 police station, they were released.
In an address to party workers, Finance Minister Cheema said the BJP government was suppressing opposition voices with the help of the ED and the CBI. As a result, the BJP is filing fake cases against our leaders and putting them in jail, he said.
Cheema says Sisodia improved the education system in Delhi, where children from rich and poor study together in government schools.
In response to the Modi government’s pressure, the CBI arrested Sisodia fearing an education revolution in Delhi.
As an indication of the saffron party’s fear of AAP’s rise, the AAP spokesperson said allegations against Delhi Deputy CM were false.
