"Attempt To Murder Democracy": AAP On Arvind Kejriwal's Arrest
"This is an attempt to murder democracy. Neither CBI nor ED has received even a single penny in the 2 year investigation. Yet just before the elections, the CM is arrested. Because the Prime Minister knows that if there is any leader who can challenge him then it is Arvind Kejriwal. If you want to fight, then come forward and fight. Stop fighting by hiding behind ED. Our fight will continue from the streets to the Parliament. We have filed an application in the Supreme Court, the hearing is tomorrow morning. We hope that the Supreme Court will work to save democracy."
