Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal yesterday met farmers who are protesting against new far law and said he will support them. However, after the meeting with the Farmers he was put under house arrest. In a tweet on Tuesday morning, the AAP alleged that the BJP was detaining the Chief Minister. “BJP’s Delhi Police has put Hon’ble CM Shri Arvind Kejriwal under house arrest ever since he visited farmers at Singhu Border yesterday. No one has been permitted to leave or enter his residence,” read the post.
In a press conference held soon after, AAP leader Saurabh Bharadwaj elaborated on the allegation, stating that Kejriwal’s residence had been barricaded and that “BJP leaders are being made to sit outside his residence”.
Recounting the meeting with the farmers a day earlier, Bharadwaj said that the CM had said the party would “serve them like sevadars and support them”. After Kejriwal’s return, he alleges, the Delhi Police had barricaded the residence from all sides, creating a “house-arrest like situation at the behest of Home Ministry”.
“No one is allowed to go inside, he is not allowed to come out. MLAs, who had a meeting with CM yesterday, were beaten up by Police when they went to meet him. Workers were not allowed to meet him either,” he alleged.
