The INDIA bloc on Friday staged a protest at Azad Maidan to denounce the arrest of Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) National Convener and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal. The protest, attended by prominent leaders from parties affiliated with the alliance, marked a strong stand against what they perceived as “a threat to democracy”. Kejriwal’s arrest has sparked outrage among Opposition parties. Leaders from Mumbai affiliated with the INDIA bloc expressed solidarity with Kejriwal and the cause of “protecting democratic values”.
Leaders of the alliance condemned the arrest, calling it a blatant attempt to suppress dissenting voices. Various INDIA bloc leaders from Mumbai, including Varsha Gaikwad, Bhai Jagtap, Preeti Menon, Rakhi Jadhav, Abu Asim Azmi, Shailendra Kamble [CPI(M)], Prakash Reddy (CPI) and Samya Korde (Peasants and Workers Party of India) were present at the protest.
