AAP to launch door-to-door campaign against Sisodia and Jain's arrest from today

While Sisodia was arrested by the CBI in Delhi liquor scam, Jain is lodged in Tihar Jail in a money laundering case since May last year.

The Aam Aadmi Party leaders will hold a door-to-door campaign in Delhi on Sunday over the arrest of its leaders Manish Sisodia and Satyendar Jain. According to reports, they will speak with the people of Delhi and explain to them how "innocent ministers" are being trapped in false cases.

The decision, taken at a meeting between Kejriwal and AAP MLAs, came a day after Sisodia and Jain resigned from the Delhi Cabinet.

While Sisodia was arrested by the Central Bureau of Investigation(CBI) on Sunday in connection with alleged corruption in the formulation and implementation of the now-scrapped Delhi liquor policy for 2021-22, Jain is lodged in Tihar Jail in a money laundering case since May last year.

Kejriwal had alleged AAP leaders Manish Sisodia and Satyendar Jain were arrested just to "sabotage the good work being done" in Delhi's education and health sectors while claiming that the two former ministers would walk out of jail if they join BJP.

AAP senior leader and Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh said the party's struggle against the central government will continue in the courts, streets, and Parliament, saying the "dictatorship of the Narendra Modi government has reached its peak". Singh alleged that the Modi government's actions show that it wants to keep India uneducated.

"From March 5, we will go door to door and speak with the people of Delhi and explain to them how our two innocent ministers are being trapped in false cases. We will also hold street meetings ('nukkad sabha')," AAP leader told PTI.

The BJP on Thursday claimed that the Delhi government had set up "I love Manish Sisodia" desks in state-run schools to rally support for the arrested leader, a charge denied by the AAP dispensation. A case was registered against Gazala under section 3 of the Delhi Prevention of Defacement of Public Property Act.

Kejriwal has forwarded the names of AAP MLAs Atishi and Saurabh Bhardwaj to the Lieutenant Governor for their appointment to the Cabinet, a day after Sisodia and Jain resigned from their posts on Tuesday.
