AAP workers detained in Srinagar, Jammu

Several workers of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) were detained in Srinagar and Jammu on Friday as they tried to take out a protest march against the arrest of their party's national convenor and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal.

In Srinagar, scores of AAP workers assembled near the Press Enclave to protest against Kejriwal's arrest by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in Delhi on Thursday night. As soon as the party members tried to take out the march, police dispersed them and detained a few protestors, officials said.

Speaking to reporters, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Nawab Nasir said Kejriwal's arrest was against the democratic norms. "This is a fight for democracy and we will ultimately win this," he said.
