To support Arvind Kejriwal, the chief minister of Delhi who was arrested, prominent members of the opposition INDIA bloc are scheduled to rally in Delhi on Sunday. On March 31, a rally at Ramlila Maidan is scheduled to be attended by opposition leaders such as Rahul Gandhi, Mallikarjun Kharge, Uddhav Thackeray, and Sharad Pawar.
Permission Granted for Rally in Delhi to Protest CM Kejriwal’s Arrest
In order to protest CM Kejriwal’s arrest by the Enforcement Directorate (ED), leaders of INDIA were given permission by the Delhi Police and Election Commission of India on Friday to hold this rally in the nation’s capital on Sunday.
This happened the day after Delhi’s Rouse Avenue Court extended Arvind Kejriwal’s ED remand after the national agency promised to question him further and take data from his devices. Kejriwal’s arrest, according to the Aam Aadmi Party, was the result of a “political conspiracy” by the Centre.
Delhi CM’s “Kejriwal ko Aashirwad” WhatsApp Campaign Launched Amidst Rally Preparations
In an effort to garner support for her husband and the party, Delhi Chief Minister Sunita Kejriwal launched the “Kejriwal ko Aashirwad” WhatsApp campaign on Friday. She asked users to use the messaging app to send prayers, supportive messages, and other communications.
Senior party leader Gopal Rai wrote on X after AAP received approval for the rally, saying, “All big leaders of the INDIA alliance partners are coming to Ramlila Maidan in Delhi on March 31. People of Delhi are also preparing to come. We have received the permission for the rally. So far, names of Mallikarjun Kharge, Rahul Gandhi, Sharad Pawar, Uddhav Thackeray, Akhilesh Yadav, Farooq Abdullah, Bhagwant Mann, Champai Soren, Tejashwi Yadav, Sitaram Yechury, Derek O’ Brien, Trichy Shiva, D Raja, Dipaknkar Bhattacharya, Kalpana Soren and G Devarajan have been confirmed.”
