Earlier in the day, elaborate security arrangements were made outside the BJP headquarters in anticipation of the AAP’s ‘Jail Bharo’ march. The Delhi Traffic Police issued an advisory warning of potential traffic snarls at DDU Marg, IP Marg, Minto Road, and Vikas Marg, noting that DDU Marg might be closed to traffic from 11 am to 2 pm and advising commuters to avoid these areas. On Saturday, Kejriwal’s former PA was arrested in connection with the alleged assault on Maliwal and was remanded in police custody for five days after being produced before the Tis Hazari Court.
Earlier, the AAP chief released a personalised video after Bibhav’s arrest, saying, “You can see how they (BJP) are after the AAP. One after another, they are putting our leaders behind bars. They put me, Manish Sisodia, Satyendra Jain, and Sanjay Singh behind bars. Today, they put my (former) PA in jail. Now they are saying they will put Raghav Chadha, Atishi, and Saurabh Bharadwaj in jail. Perhaps it was our fault that we built schools and mohalla clinics, while also providing electricity for free, which they failed to accomplish. I would like to tell the Prime Minister: you are playing a ‘jail ka khel’ with us. Tomorrow, I will lead a march to the BJP headquarters along with all my top leaders, MLAs, and MPs at noon. You can put whoever you want in jail,” Kejriwal said.
Taking a dig at the BJP
Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal took a dig at the Bharatiya Janata Party on Sunday, stating that the BJP has initiated ‘Operation Jhaddu’ to dismantle AAP and intends to arrest all key leaders of his party. He made these remarks at DDU Marg in the national capital before leading a protest march towards the BJP headquarters, joined by top AAP leaders at the rally.
“BJP has started ‘Operation Jhaadu’ so that we don’t grow big and become a challenge to them. Through ‘Operation Jhaadu’, AAP’s big leaders will be arrested; they are being arrested, and in the coming days, AAP’s bank accounts will be frozen,” said Kejriwal.
