New Delhi, Aug 19: The Aam Aadmi Party workers, who gathered outside the house of Delhi’s Deputy CM Manish Sisodia’s residence today to support him after early morning CBI raids, were detained by the police.
“They are announcing that they have imposed Section 144 here. Nobody raised slogans or misbehaved, or we did not do anything what do they fear? The more they stop us, the bigger we will grow,” a AAP worker said.
AAP workers were protesting against CBI raid at Sisodia’s residence which is going on since this morning.
Manish Sisodia’s home was searched by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) in relation to the controversy over the excise policy today. Additionally, searches are being carried out in six additional states and 21 locations around the National Capital Region (NCR) including premises of the then Delhi Excise Commissioner Arava Gopi Krishna.
Manish Sisodia tweeted to deny all accusations and to pledge his cooperation in the probe. Sisodia criticised the harassment of performers throughout the nation, calling it regrettable.
Arvind Kejriwal, the chief of the AAP and the chief minister of Delhi, responded to the raid by saying that the party welcomes the CBI and that there had previously been raids on other party leaders, but nothing has come of those. According to him, raids are being carried out on the health and education ministries since the world is praising Delhi’s health and educational models.
