New Delhi: Delhi Chief Minister and AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal will take out a march at the BJP headquarters in Delhi today, protesting against the arrest of his party leaders, NDTV reported.
Kejriwal in a video message on Saturday announced the march with his senior leaders to the BJP headquarters offering that the saffron party could arrest them all if it wanted.
"One after the other, they have been putting our leaders in jail... I want to tell the Prime Minister: You are playing this game of arresting people one at a time. Tomorrow, I will go to the BJP headquarters at noon with all my senior leaders, MLAs, and MPs. Jail whoever you want, do it all at once," he was quoted as saying.
The AAP chief made the protest call following the arrest of his personal secretary Bibhav Kumar in the Swati Maliwal assault case.
Kejriwal, who is out on a bail in Delhi liquor policy case, claimed that the BJP is targeting Rajya Sabha MP Raghav Chadha, and Delhi Ministers Saurabh Bhardwaj and Atishi.
Maliwal, a Rajya Sabha MP, alleged that Kumar had kicked her in the chest, stomach, and pelvic area and "dragged her and pulled her shirt up" inside the Chief Minister's residence.
Kumar was arrested from the Chief Minister's house yesterday and sent to five-day police custody.
As the incident caused a political storm in the national capital, the AAP claimed that BJP ‘blackmailed’ Maliwal to become part of a "conspiracy" against the Chief Minister.
Meanwhile, Delhi BJP chief Virendra Sachdeva has said that Kumar’s arrest will open many "dirty pages" of AAP's politics.
Following his arrest in March, Kejriwal is out on bail till June 1 but his former deputy Manish Sisodia and Satyendar Jain remain in jail.
