In a post on X, Kejriwal said the detention of CJP members directly from their flight showed what he described as an unprecedented level of fear.
He also accused the government of undermining democracy and alleged that the election had been won through “vote chori”, or vote theft. Kejriwal called for the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar and also criticised the Prime Minister.
These claims reflect Kejriwal’s political allegations and have not been independently established by the information provided.
AAP Alleges Security Restrictions at Kejriwal’s Residence
The AAP has also alleged that Delhi Police turned Kejriwal’s residence into a heavily guarded area ahead of the proposed CJP demonstration.
The security measures across central Delhi have included police deployments, preventive detentions and restrictions intended to stop protesters from reaching Jantar Mantar.
Delhi Police had earlier refused permission for the planned protest, citing security concerns and procedural requirements.
Kejriwal Urges Young People to Join Protest
On Friday, Kejriwal said that he and his family would attend the proposed demonstration. He also urged young people to join the protest.
The CJP has called for a demonstration demanding the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar over allegations of vote theft.
The planned protest has prompted heightened security across the national capital, with restrictions affecting public transport and access to several areas.
The political dispute has brought renewed attention to allegations concerning the electoral process, the right to protest and the authorities’ handling of demonstrations in Delhi.
