The opposition INDIA Bloc joined forces at Delhi’s historic Ramlila Maidan under the banner of ‘Loktantra Bachao’ rally against the backdrop of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s arrest by the ED in connection with a money laundering case related to the alleged Delhi liquor policy scam, just ahead of the Lok Sabha elections.

Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal’s wife, Sunita Kejriwal’s address at the historic ground garnered a lot of attention as she read out her husband’s message penned from ED custody.

"Your own Kejriwal has sent a message for you from jail. Before reading this message, I would like to ask you something. Our Prime Minister Narendra Modi put my husband in jail, did the Prime Minister do the right thing? Do you believe that Kejriwal Ji is a true patriot and honest person? These BJP people are saying that Kejriwal ji is in jail, he should resign. Should he resign? Your Kejriwal is a lion, they will not be able to keep him in jail for long," she said.
