"Soon our beloved leader will be released": Punjab Minister on AAP observing collective fasting in support of Kejriwal

Shaheed Bhagat Singh Nagar (Punjab) [India], April 7 (ANI): After the Aam Aadmi Party organised a collective fasting programme in support of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, Punjab Minister Laljit Bhullar said that there is anger in people's heart because Kejriwal has been illegitimately arrested.
"There is anger in people's hearts because Arvind Kejriwal has been illegitimately arrested. Soon our beloved leader will be released. PM Modi himself sent Arvind Kejriwal to jail but he'll regret his decision because people will vote for AAP and people stand with Arvind Kejriwal," he said.
Earlier, AAP leader Gopal Rai, in a public address during a collective fasting programme organized by the party, urged the people of Delhi to vote for the Aam Aadmi party on May 25 in order to show their support for Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal.
Drawing a comparison between PM Modi and the Delhi CM, Rai said, "When Prime Minister Modi goes abroad, the event company gathers crowds for him. But today people are fasting on their own from Times Square to Melbourne for Arvind Kejriwal. The day Delhi gave 67 out of 70 seats to Arvind Kejriwal, PM Modi started having stomachache. Arvind Kejriwal used to struggle for the people of Delhi earlier, he is struggling even today," Gopal Rai said.
Rai stated that upon Kejriwal's release from prison, they aim to extend their fight beyond Delhi to the entire nation, asserting their determination to emerge victorious on a national scale.
Notably, the AAP leaders observed a hunger strike at Jantar Mantar against the arrest of party national convenor and Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal in connection with the Delhi excise policy case on Sunday.
Kejriwal, who was arrested by the ED on March 21, was sent to judicial custody until April 15 and is lodged in Tihar Jail in connection with a money-laundering case linked to a liquor excise policy scam. (ANI)
