New Delhi: The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Friday accused the Delhi police of acting like a bully at the behest of the centre by entering chief minister Arvind Kejriwal’s residence “illegally” and said the action was aimed at “insulting and humiliating” him.
The party’s sharp reaction came after the police went to Kejriwal’s residence saying its demand for the CCTV footage of the alleged incident of assault on chief secretary Anshu Prakash by AAP MLAs had not been met.
AAP leader Ashutosh claimed the police had initially requested the video from the public works department (PWD) but did not take it . Without taking the name of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and its leaders, AAP MP Sanjay Singh said it is “unfortunate” that some “dictators” and people with a mentality of “hooligans” have captured power, be it Gujarat, Haryana, Maharashtra, Rajasthan or Madhya Pradesh.
“The dadagiri by the Delhi Police at Arvind Kejriwal’s residence is being done at the behest of the BJP. The Delhi Police is a mere puppet but the Centre is resorting to such dadagiri to dismiss the Delhi government,” Singh said.
