"Unconstitutional', 'Witch-Hunt': INDIA Block Slams Arvind Kejriwal's Arrest

Minutes after Arvind Kejriwal's arrest, posts from key leaders across the Opposition flooded social media, criticising the Centre and the BJP in no uncertain terms.

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's arrest has firmly brought together the INDIA block, which has been making headlines recently more for its differences than its unity. Minutes after the arrest, posts from key leaders across the Opposition flooded social media, criticising the Centre and the BJP in no uncertain terms. That the BJP is running scared ahead of the Lok Sabha election was the primary thought. Many warned that the people will respond to this with their  votes.   We vehemently condemn the arrest of Arvind Kejriwal, an elected CM, especially when EC is in charge & MCC is in place. Earlier his administrative powers were snatched through an illegal ordinance. How can we expect fair elections in India if sitting CMs & prominent opposition… जो ख़ुद हैं शिकस्त के ख़ौफ़ में क़ैद'वो' क्या करेंगे किसी और को क़ैदभाजपा जानती है कि वो फिर दुबारा सत्ता में नहीं आनेवाली, इसी डर से वो चुनाव के समय, विपक्ष के नेताओं को किसी भी तरह से जनता से दूर करना चाहती है, गिरफ़्तारी तो बस बहाना है।ये गिरफ़्तारी एक नयी जन-क्रांति को… Ahead of #Elections2024, driven by fear of a decade of failures and the imminent defeat, the Fascist BJP Govt sinks to despicable depths by arresting Hon'ble Delhi CM @ArvindKejriwal, following the unjust targeting of brother @HemantSorenJMM.Not a single BJP leader faces…

Among the first off the block was Trinamool Congress leader Derek O Brien and  Priyanka Gandhi Vadra.

Equally strong comments came from Ms Gandhi Vadra.
