Delhi's ruling Aam Aadmi Party on Sunday alleged that leaders and workers of the BJP mobbed Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's home, vandalising property and breaking CCTV cameras, in an escalating showdown involving the city's municipal bodies. Aam Aadmi Party leaders Raghav Chadha, Atishi and a number of party leaders were detained today while on their way to Home Minister Amit Shah and Lieutenant Governor Anil Baijal's residences as part of their party's protest against alleged misappropriation of funds by BJP-controlled Delhi civic body. The Delhi-Jaipur highway has been partially opened after a three-hour closure that started as farmers began a tractor march from Shahjahanpur on the Rajasthan-Haryana border as part of their escalating 18-day protest against the centre's contentious farm laws. Farmers said they have not blocked any additional highway and the problems in commute are due to road blockade by the police. Attacking the centre over the farm laws, days after Prime Minister Narendra Modi laid the foundation store for a new parliament project, star-turned-politician Kamal Haasan tweeted, "Why a 1,000-crore new Parliament when half of India is hungry, losing livelihood due to coronavirus. When thousands died as the Great Wall of China was being built, the rulers said it was to protect people. To protect whom are you building the Rs1,000-crore Parliament? Please answer my honourable elected PM."
