AAP MLAs arrested, party blames PM Modi for it

July 25, 2016

aapNew Delhi, Jul 25: On Sunday, the Aam Aadmi Party hit out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the arrest of its two MLAs, saying this is a “proof” of his frustration. Reacting to the arrests, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said “Modi was sending Delhiites to jail under false cases”. Eleven AAP legislators have been arrested in different cases so far. The AAP national convener also asked why the Prime Minister had diverted entire police against his political opponents rather than protecting women.

The party suffered a shocker with Delhi Police arresting Okhla MLA Amanatullah Khan for allegedly trying to run over a woman with his car and Punjab Police going after Mehrauli MLA Naresh Yadav in an alleged case of sacrilege incident in Malerkotla. “Why is Modi ji not arresting perpetrators of crime against women? It is shameful that Modi ji has diverted the entire police from protecting women to arresting his political opponents,” Kejriwal tweeted. “Two MLAs arrested in a day is a proof his frustration. CBI, ACB, Delhi Police, Punjab Police,” his deputy Manish Sisodia said.

AAP leader Ashutosh said Khan was not even allowed to wear slippers and the police turned all the CCTV cameras towards the ceiling. He also said BJP was scared because of AAP’s rising popularity. “Amanatullah was not even allowed to wear slippers/while arresting all the CCTV cameras were turned towards ceiling by police. This is Modi’s law. He gives a damn to law and evidences. People are watching. AAP’s rising graph has scared Modi (sic),” Ashutosh tweeted.

In a press conference on Saturday, Amanatullah Khan had alleged that the SHO of Jamia Nagar Police station had tutored the woman to name Khan in the case and also released a video to buttress his claim. He also alleged that the woman was in touch with BJP leaders. Comparing the arrest of Patidars in Gujarat to ones in Delhi, Kejriwal tweeted, “In Gujarat, Anandiben sends Dalits and Patidars to jail under false cases. In Delhi, Modiji sends Delhiites to jail under false cases. Now Delhi and Gujarat will fight (against this) together. ”

“The same Delhi Police also beat the hell out of vols (volunteers) trying to file an FIR against a rapist,” (sic) Kejriwal said, retweeting a tweet of composer Vishal Dadlani, an ardent party supporter. Party leader Ashish Khetan termed the arrest as the darkest time after Emergency. “Another AAP MLA arrested on spurious charges. History will record the Modi rule as the darkest time for democracy post Emergency,” Khetan said.

Apr 24: Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan on Friday sought Prime Minister Narendra Modi's intervention in bringing bodies of Keralites who died in the Gulf countries due to non-COVID-19 reasons to the state without any delay for performing last rites in their home towns.

In a letter, he wanted Modi to direct Indian embassies to issue necessary clearances without seeking individual approvals from the Ministry of Home Affairs and avoid any delay so that the remains reach Kerala early. It has been learnt that a 'clearance certificate' from the Indian embassies concerned was required to process the application for bringing home the bodies.

The embassies are insisting on production of no-objection certificate from the Union Ministry of Home Affairs, he said in the letter, a copy of which was released to the media here on Friday. The Centre had already agreed that in case the deaths are not COVID related, such certificates are not necessary.

The bodies are now being brought in the cargo planes as passenger flights are not being operated due to the lockdown. Chief Minister said he had received several grievances from the NRKs in Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries on the delay in bringing home the bodies of those who died there. "They are already under tremendous stress and anxiety due to the lockdown imposed in those countries and the consequent stoppage of international flights", Vijayan said.

Mumbai, Aug 5: A day after the Bihar government requested for a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe into the death of Sushant Singh Rajput, the Centre has accepted the state’s request. 

The CBI, which falls under the Union Home Ministry, will now take over the probe. Solicitor General Tushar Mehta on Wednesday stated in the apex court that the Centre has accepted the request floated by the Nitish Kumar government recommending a CBI inquiry.

A bench of Justice Hrishikesh Roy observed that truth behind the 34-year-old Rajput's death should come out. "Truth should come out so far as actor's death is concerned," the SC bench said as reported by news agency.

Meanwhile, the Supreme Court is also hearing a petition filed by model-actress Rhea Chakraborty who was in a relationship with the deceased actor. In her plea, she sought the transfer of an FIR lodged in Patna by Rajput's father, K K Singh, who had accused her of abetting his suicide.

The 34-year-old actor was found hanging from the ceiling of his apartment in suburban Bandra in Mumbai on June 14.
