AAP says it won’t move protest to Jantar Mantar

Rejecting MHA’s request to move the protest from Rail Bhavan to Jantar Mantar Aam Aadmi Party has said that they will not move the dharna from the scheduled place and threaten to extend the dharrna to 10 days.

“Won’t move protest to Jantar Mantar” Somnath Bharti said.

Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal along with his six ministers and party workers has started their dharna in front of Rail Bhavan against the accused police officials on Monday.

Attacking the Centre and Delhi policem Arvind Kejriwal demanded action against officials who refused to raid an alleged drug and prostitution racket in South Delhi.

“Some people are saying that I am an anarchist. I am spreading disorder. I agree I am an anarchist. Today, I will create anarchy for Shinde,” Kejriwal said.

“We are here to demand justice for auto drivers, street vendors, hawkers and for security of women and the people of Delhi,” Kejriwal said adding, “There is a big sex racket going on in the area, but the policemen refused to arrest them. There is no sex racket in the area which is possible without the knowledge of the police. A woman from Uganda High Commision gave a letter to Somnath Bharti and complimented him for his efforts to stop the racket.”

“One after the other rapes are happening and the Delhi Police only says that they are investigating, but they take no action,” he said.

“What are we demanding? We are seeking a fair trial. We demand that the SHO be suspended while the inquiry is on. It is for Mr Shinde to decide what is to be done. If the police is roaming around paying ministers for his transfer postings, then what do we expect from them?” AAP leader Manish Sisodia told CNN-IBN.

AAP leader Yogendra Yadav has party is fully with Kejriwal and his agitation.

“AAP manifesto said that the party will be completely responsible for safety of Delhi. Today what we are doing is exactly what we promised in our manifesto,” Yadav said.

“A Danish woman gangraped but police has not taken any action. Another one in Malviya Nagar, people complained of drug trafficking but police took no action,” Yadav added.

Arvind Kejriwal, meanwhile, continued work from the dharna site.  

Former IPS officer and Anna Hazare team member lashed out at Kejriwal today.

“People elected the AAP to govern and not to break laws, not for chaos but for order. Now people will have doubts whether they gave vote for protest or for government. I feel bad for the people who voted for this government in Delhi. They would be regretting it today,” Bedi said.

“You cannot get people suspended at the drop of a hat,” she added.

Congress leader Digvijaya Singh criticised Kejriwal for his dharna.

“Kejriwal should allow the Delhi Police to do its job. Dharnas cannot change the law. Only Parliament can change laws,” he said.

Home Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde Kejriwal should wait for the judicial inquiry.

“The Delhi Police Commissioner and the Lieutenant Governor are looking after Delhi matters. Kejriwal should have trust in government and judicial inquiry that is going on,” Shinde said.
