Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann stated on Thursday that AAP national convener Arvind Kejriwal will not bow down, regardless of the atrocities committed against him. Mann’s statement came a day after the Delhi chief minister was arrested by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) in connection with a corruption case related to the alleged excise scam.
Mann also shared a picture of Kejriwal in a post on X, saying, “This picture represents the struggle against dictatorship. Arvind Kejriwal will not bow down no matter how much atrocities you commit. The CBI’s arrest following bail in the ED case is a blatant misuse of the CBI at the behest of the BJP,” Mann posted in Hindi.
Following the arrest on Wednesday, a Delhi court sent Kejriwal to three-day CBI custody after hearing arguments on the probe agency’s application, during which Kejriwal asserted his innocence.
AAP has alleged that central probe agencies are acting with ill intent and political malice against its leaders at the BJP’s behest.
