Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia on Wednesday was detained by the Delhi Police when he visited RMl hospital to meet ex-servicmen's kin who has allegedly committed suicide at the Jantar Mantar over the delay in implementation of the One Rank, One Pension (OROP) scheme. Sisodia was detained around 1 pm and was in detention for nearly 10 hours in the Parliament Street Police Station.
“This is worst than Emergency,” Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal told reporters before being detained while Sisodia tweeted, “This is Emergency”.
“I went to RMl to meet the family, not to stage a dharna. What's wrong with thatIJ” Sisodia tweeted and targeted Prime Minister Narendra Modi. “law and order is in jeopardy if Deputy Chief Minister meets the grieving familyIJ What kind of system is this, ModijiIJ”
Retorting over the incident, the Chief Minister quickly took to Twitter and attacked Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his “insecurity.” Also, he said if a Minister goes to pay his condolences to the family, is it correct to “arrest” him.
Ex-serviceman Ram Kishan Grewal allegedly consumed poison last afternoon. However, the cause behind Grewal's suicide is yet to be ascertained. Grewal's son Jaswant urged the Modi Government to look into
the matter.
