The development was confirmed by advocate Sanjeev Nasiar, State President of the AAP’s Legal Cell, who also announced that attorneys will congregate in all district courts at approximately 12:30 PM to express disapproval of Kejriwal’s incarceration.

Complaint Filed Against AAP’s Legal Cell for Protests at Delhi Courts
The Aam Aadmi Party’s legal cell has called for protests at Delhi courts, and the acting chief justice of the Delhi High Court has received a complaint about this. The lawyer has sent a letter stating that it is grave misconduct for political parties to use court grounds as a battleground. The letter also violates the guidelines of the Indian Bar Council and the Supreme Court’s rulings.
