AAP held a protest near the BJP headquarters on DDU Marg on Friday against the arrest of party MLA Amanatullah Khan and other workers. The protesters, assembled near the old AAP office on DDU Marg, were prevented from marching towards the BJP headquarters by police. Barricades were also erected to stop the protesters.
Taking part in the protest, Khan's wife Mariam alleged that her husband was framed in a "false" case.
Senior AAP leader and former Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia called the arrest BJP’s "Saam, Daam, Dand, Bhed" tactics and condemned it. He vowed that AAP will never bow to political pressure.
AAP Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh alleged that there is no truth in the arrest of Khan. “Arrest after arrest, no truth in any case. ED-CBI are the illegal weapon of power, there is no proof against Amanatullah Khan he will come out soon,” Singh stated. AAP MLAs, including Dilip Pandey and Kuldeep Kumar, also joined the protest.
