I Vehemently Condemn The Arrest of Arvind Kejriwal: Mamata Banerjee

Mamata Banerjee 

Mamata Banerjee, leader of Trinamool Congress and Chief Minister of West Bengal, condemned the arrest of Chief Minister of Delhi Arvind Kejriwal just weeks before the general election/Lok Sabha election. 

In an X post published on Friday, Mamata Banerjee said, "I vehemently condemn the arrest of Arvind Kejriwal, the sitting elected Chief Minister of Delhi elected by the people. 

"I have personally reached out to Smt Sunita Kejriwal to extend my unwavering support and solidarity. It's outrageous that while elected opposition CMs are being deliberately targeted and arrested while individuals accused under CBI/ED investigations are allowed to continue their malpractices with impunity, especially after aligning with the BJP. This is a blatant assault on democracy", she added. 

She also said in the post, "Today, our INDIA alliance will meet the EC to express our strong objection to the deliberate targeting and arrests of opposition leaders, particularly during the MCC period. To this end, I have designated @derekobrienmp and @MdNadimulHaque6 to represent @AITCofficial in this crucial meeting with the Election Commission."
