Sagarika Ghose stated "The arrest of Arvind Kejriwal is nothing short of condemnable, it is a fundamental assault on democracy. Aside from the fact that he is a sitting CM and a major leader of the opposition, he has been elected three times, he is a three-time Delhi CM, twice with a huge majority; so to arrest Arvind Kejriwal in this manner is disdain for the people of Delhi"
