BJP not allowing Kejriwal to meet his family in jail: AAP alleges

BJP not allowing Kejriwal to meet his family in jail: AAP alleges

New Delhi, Apr 10 (UNI) Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader and Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh on Wednesday alleged that the Modi-led BJP government is threatening Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal over his direction to the party’s MLAs from jail to address problems of their constituencies.
Addressing a press conference, Singh said, “Arvind Kejriwal is being threatened that he will not be allowed to meet his family. The dictator (PM Modi) wants to convert Delhi's Tihar Jail into Hitler's gas chamber. These (BJP) people want to convert Tihar Jail into a torture chamber, but the great people of Delhi will answer their jail with their votes.”
“The Modi government wants to keep an elected Chief Minister of Delhi in jail. Two days ago Arvind Kejriwal met his lawyer and during that meeting, he gave the message that the elected MLAs should go to their areas and listen to the problems of the people. And just on the basis of this message, an inquiry has been set up against him and a threat is being given that you will be stopped from meeting your family and lawyers because he had instructed AAP MLAs through their lawyers to go to their areas and solve their problems,” he said.
