AAP Leaders Stage Protest Outside Patel Chowk Metro Station, Punjab Minister And Party Members Apprehended

In the midst of heightened political tension in the Indian capital, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has issued his second directive from his current detention within the Enforcement Directorate’s (ED) custody. This latest directive, as conveyed by Health Minister Saurabh Bharadwaj during a press conference, pertains to addressing concerns within the health department, particularly focusing on the accessibility of healthcare services for Delhi residents.

Bharadwaj highlighted Kejriwal’s unwavering commitment to ensuring that all segments of society, especially the underprivileged, have access to essential healthcare facilities. The directive underscores Kejriwal’s determination to mitigate any potential inconvenience faced by residents, even amidst his personal legal predicament.

Specifically, the directive addresses the issue of inadequate access to hospitals and Mohalla clinics in various areas of Delhi. Bharadwaj emphasized Kejriwal’s concern regarding the unavailability of free medical tests at these clinics, which are vital for many residents who cannot afford such services elsewhere.

In response to these concerns, Kejriwal has instructed the Health Minister to take immediate measures to ensure that free medical tests are conducted at Mohalla clinics and that essential medicines are readily available in hospitals and clinics across the city.

Bharadwaj further emphasized the significance of Kejriwal’s directives, portraying them as akin to divine instructions that must be adhered to diligently. However, he did not provide details regarding how Kejriwal communicated these orders from his detention.

Meanwhile, security measures have been heightened in anticipation of protests planned by the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) outside Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s residence. AAP’s demonstration is in response to Kejriwal’s arrest by the ED in connection with the excise policy scam case.

 In a show of solidarity, AAP leaders and supporters have initiated a social media campaign, changing their display pictures to one depicting Kejriwal behind bars. This gesture aims to express support for the party’s chief during his legal ordeal.

Additionally, AAP has announced plans for a ‘Main Bhi Kejriwal’ campaign, demonstrating unwavering support for Kejriwal and his leadership. The party has asserted that Kejriwal will not resign from his position as Chief Minister, and efforts will continue to ensure the success of AAP’s initiatives.

In the midst of these developments, the ED has taken note of Kejriwal’s directives issued from custody and has initiated an inquiry to ascertain their compliance with legal protocols. This move underscores the legal scrutiny surrounding Kejriwal’s actions during his detention period.

Overall, Kejriwal’s directives from detention highlight his commitment to governance and the welfare of Delhi’s residents, even amidst legal challenges. His actions serve as a testament to his unwavering dedication to serving the interests of the people, despite facing personal adversity.
