TMC condemns Kejriwal's arrest

"We vehemently condemn the arrest of Arvind Kejriwal, an elected CM, especially when EC is in charge & MCC is in place. Earlier his administrative powers were snatched through an illegal ordinance. How can we expect fair elections in India if sitting CMs & prominent opposition leaders are arrested weeks before polls? If SC & ECI fail to act now, who will stand with people against BJP's oppressive politics in future?" wrote TMC Rajya Sabha MP Derek O'Brien on X (Twitter).

"The election process has begun. And now this! Chiefs of political parties, CMs, political leaders, election agents, workers, every opponent- being harassed & arrested like this What will be the fate of our precious democracy. LET US ALL SAVE DEMOCRACY FROM IMPENDING DISASTER," he said in another post.
