AAP To Launch Mass Fast Campaign Against Kejriwal's Arrest On April 7

BY A STAFF REPORTER: Days after Kejriwal's arrest, the Aam Aadmi Party on Wednesday decided to launch a 'Mass Fast' campaign against Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal's arrest in Delhi's Jantar Mantar on April 7. 

The AAP leaders and workers will organize a 'Mass Fast Campaign' in large numbers against the arrest of top AAP leaders including Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal, Deputy CM Manish Sisodia, Satyendra Jain, and AAP MP Sanjay Singh. AAP leaders have sought permission from the Delhi Police. They have also urged AAP and Kejriwal Supporters to join the 'Mass Fast Campaign'. Moreover, Delhi Minister Atishi has revealed that Arvind Kejriwal is severely diabetic in confinement and has lost 4.5 Kg after his arrest. 

However, Sanjay Singh will soon be released as the Supreme Court on Tuesday granted bail to AAP MP Sanjay Singh, one of the accused in the case as the ED failed to recover money pertinent to the scam. Moreover, he was arrested on October 4, 2023. However, the bail is not precedent. 

The authorities shifted Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal to Tihar Jail and lodged him in jail number two following the orders of Delhi's Rouse Avenue Court on Monday. 

Delhi's Rouse Avenue Court granted Judicial custody of 15 days to Arvind Kejriwal in the Delhi Liquorgate on April 1, Monday. 

Moreover, Delhi's Rouse Avenue Court on Thursday extended Arvind Kejriwal's ED remand till April 1 in connection with the Delhi Liquorgate case. The ED demanded a seven-day extension of Kejriwal's custody due to his alleged evasive replies and non-cooperation in the investigation. However, the court extended the remand for four days.

Furthermore, Delhi's Rouse Avenue Court Remanded Delhi CM and AAP National Convener Arvind Kejriwal to ED Custody till March 28 in the Delhi Liquorgate case on March 22, Friday.   The decision came as ED demanded 10-day custody of Kejriwal and submitted 28 pages of evidence alleging his involvement in the Delhi Liquor Policy Scam. 

The Enforcement Directorate arrested Delhi CM and AAP National Convener Arvind Kejriwal from his residence in connection with the Delhi Liquorgate case. He was arrested following search operations and Interrogations conducted by the ED at his residence on Thursday evening.
