Protests Erupt Amid Atishi's Hunger Strike Over Delhi Water Crisis

Protesters disrupted Delhi Water Minister Atishi's hunger strike against the city's water crisis, with AAP accusing BJP of orchestrating the chaos. BJP termed the strike a political stunt, claiming protesters were former civil defence volunteers. Atishi vowed to continue until 28 lakh Delhi residents receive their rightful water share.

On Saturday, tensions flared at the site of Delhi Water Minister Atishi's hunger strike against the water crisis, as protesters raised slogans and waved placards. The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) alleged that the disruption was orchestrated by the BJP.

The BJP fired back, labeling the hunger strike as a political drama and claiming that the protesters were former civil defence volunteers and bus marshals ousted by the AAP government.

Atishi, initiating the 'Pani Satyagraha' on Friday at Bhogal in south Delhi, stated that some people tried to create a disturbance and even planned to attack her. She emphasized her commitment to Gandhiji's path of 'Satyagraha', vowing not to stop the hunger strike until the 28 lakh Delhiites receive their proper share of water.
