    Jammu: AAP stages protest against Sisodia’s arrest

    [ad_1]

    Jammu: The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Monday staged a protest outside the BJP office here to protest against the arrest of Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia by the CBI in connection with alleged corruption in the now-scrapped excise policy.

    Several AAP leaders and workers from different parts of Jammu province gathered outside the BJP office at Trikuta Nagar and held a demonstration against the Central government, a party spokesman said.

    “The BJP government at the Centre is arresting opposition leaders through various agencies by implicating them in various scams so that pressure can be put on them to suppress their voices,” AAP leader Amit Kapoor told reporters.

    Demanding immediate release of Sisodia, he said his arrest is a “black chapter” in the democracy as he is innocent and making constant efforts to provide better education to children of poor families.

    “AAP workers will not tolerate such kind of actions and will start a big movement against the BJP-led government,” he said, calling upon the party workers to unite to oppose such “anti-people and anti-democratic” steps.

Our main demand is that when the BJP government was in power in 2008, they reduced the reservation for scheduled castes from 16 per cent to 12 per cent in the state. During the 2018 assembly election, the present Congress-led state government had promised that BJP had done injustice and if the congress government would come back in power then they would restore it.”

    “It has been more than four years but still Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel has not fulfilled the promises made by him. We have come here to remind them about his promises. Today is our symbolic demonstration. We have given one month’s time to the Chief Minister, if our demand is not fulfilled, then after March 2, we will organise a big movement in Raipur by calling the people across the state. We will gheraoed the CM House. We will visit all the gram sabhas, towns and cities across the state and will expose the lies of the government among the people. We oppose whatever unconstitutional action is being taken by the government,” he added.

    “People moving ahead by the reservation given by Dr Bhim Rao Ambedkar should not work against the society at the behest of the government. The people of Chhattisgarh will teach them a lesson,” Azad added.
