Chandigarh: Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leaders held a massive protest outside the BJP headquarters in Chandigarh on Monday against the unconstitutional arrest of senior Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader and Delhi Education Minister Manish Sisodia.
Hundreds of AAP leaders and workers including Punjab government ministers Harpal Singh Cheema, Anmol Gagan Mann, Lalchand Kataruchak, Brahm Shankar Jimpa, Dr Balbir Singh, Harjot Bains, Harbhajan Singh ETO and AAP Punjab General Secretary Harchand Singh Barsat participated in the protest.
Lamenting the Centre government for the arrest of Manish Sisodia, they raised slogans against the PM Narendra Modi-led Centre government. AAP leaders called the arrest of Sisodia a dictatorial decision and called such action a threat to democracy.
Addressing the workers, senior AAP Punjab leader and Finance Minister Harpal Singh Cheema said that the BJP government was using the ED and the CBI to suppress the voices of the opposition. The BJP is unnerved of the Aam Aadmi Party, that’s why they are registering fake cases against the leaders and putting them in jail.
As the Education Minister of Delhi, Manish Sisodia made arrangements for good education for poor children. Today in Delhi, children of both rich and poor are studying together in government schools. Manish Sisodia made school of eminence in Delhi to improve the education system. Now, children of Delhi are going to IIT and AIIMS after studying in these schools. Fearing the education revolution in Delhi, the BJP has arrested Manish Sisodia on false charges.
He said that ED raided Manish Sisodia’s house several times and bank accounts were searched, but nothing was found. The CBI has arrested Manish Sisodia under pressure from the Modi government. BJP’s aim is not to arrest Manish Sisodia but to stop Aam Aadmi Party and Arvind Kejriwal. But the party will continue to work for the common people and downtrodden society to lift their living standards. Soon the whole truth will come out in front of the public.
He said that Manish Sisodia is the best education minister of the country. Prominent personalities of the world are praising Sisodia’s working style. The CBI has no evidence against him. Some BJP leaders are saying 10 thousand crores and some are saying 25 thousand crores, but not even a single rupee has been recovered from him. The BJP will be cursed by the parents of the children studying in the government schools of Delhi.
Meanwhile, many senior AAP leaders including the Punjab Cabinet Ministers have been detained by the Chandigarh Police for holding peaceful protest outside the BJP office here.
