Chandigarh Congress president condemns arrest

Chandigarh Congress president HS Lucky has condemned the arrest of Kejriwal.

“It is absolutely wrong and unconstitutional to target Kejriwal in this manner due to elections. Lowering the level of politics in this manner suits neither the Prime Minister nor his government,” Lucky said.

“Fight your critics in the electoral battlefield, confront them strongly, attack their policies and working style of course - this is democracy. But using the power of all the institutions of the country in this way to fulfil your political goals, weakening them by putting pressure is against every principle of democracy,” he alleged.

The AAP and the Congress fought the recent mayoral elections in Chandigarh in alliance.
