New Delhi: Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal is being treated as a “political prisoner,” the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) claimed on Friday, highlighting that his sugar levels had dropped to 50 nearly 34 times between June 3 and July 7.
At a press conference, AAP Rajya Sabha MP Sandeep Pathak alleged that Kejriwal was the target of a “conspiracy.”
“Kejriwal is a political prisoner. Everyone knows how dictatorships treat political prisoners. Efforts are being made to scare him so that he does not raise his voice,” he said.
Pathak noted that Kejriwal, who has had severe diabetes for 30 years, was experiencing hypoglycemia, which he described as “hazardous” to his health.
“His sugar levels declined 34 times while in judicial custody between June 3 and July 7. This is a serious issue. He is not an ordinary person. He is an elected chief minister,” he said.
Pathak mentioned that AAP had discussed the situation with its INDIA bloc allies and that they planned to hold a rally on July 30.
“This is not just about any person or party. It is about the system in the country. Who will join politics and form a party if such things happen?” he asked.
“This issue was discussed by the INDIA bloc constituents, and a consensus emerged that it was not just about Kejriwal and that the country could not be left to fend for itself against a dictatorship,” Pathak said.
