AAP and the INDIA alliance declared at a press conference in the city on Saturday that they will stage protests against the arrest of Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal in the alleged liquor policy scam.

"All political parties who are against the BJP will protest against this illegal arrest," said Preeti Sharma Menon, AAP's president in Mumbai. At the press conference, Menon further alleged that she was pushed by an on-duty police officer.

"Today, we unveil the truth behind BJP's dirty politics and their attempts to frame AAP leaders in false allegations. We will shed light on nefarious dealings between Sarath Chandra Reddy, a Hyderabad-based businessman, and the BJP," said Menon.

She further stated that the AAP will go on roads and conduct maha aartis in places of worship, to create awareness about Kejriwal's arrest. "The protests won't stop," she said. AAP's Ruben Mascarenhas alleged that the BJP was blatantly misusing its power to target opponents and endangering democracy.

"The modus operandi of the BJP, which is utilising government agencies like the ED to harass and coerce individuals into making false statements, is reprehensible," he said.
