The party also urged people to participate in the campaign in large numbers to ‘save’ the constitution and democracy.

The ED on March 21 arrested Kejriwal after more than two hours of questioning at his residence. The case pertains to alleged corruption and money laundering in formulating and executing the Delhi government's excise policy for 2021-22 which was later scrapped.
