Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's arrest by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has ignited a political storm, with his wife Sunita alleging that the entire system is working to ensure Kejriwal remains behind bars, likening the situation to a 'dictatorship' and 'emergency'.
The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has accused the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of orchestrating Kejriwal's detention in a 'fake case' involving the Delhi excise policy. Kejriwal, who secured bail on June 20 in the related money laundering case, faced immediate opposition from the Enforcement Directorate (ED), setting the stage for his arrest the following day.
Amidst fierce reactions, AAP leaders have condemned the arrest, calling it the government's lowest move. Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh decried the situation as the worst form of emergency and accused the BJP of a dirty political game.
