“Our two MLAs — Naresh Yadav and Amanatullah Khan — were arrested in a day. Police misbehaved with Khan’s family and forcibly picked him up. The same treatment has been meted out to Deputy Speaker Rakhi Bidlan. The kingpin behind the subsequent attacks on our MLAs is Modiji only,” senior party leader Ashutosh alleged.
“Delhi Police is going to arrest two more AAP MLAs today (Thursday). Sharad Chauhan and Rakhi Bidlan in the line,” Ashutosh tweeted.
“Similarly, MLA Sharad Chauhan was interrogated for over nine hours, that to regarding an issue in which an FIR was registered after AAP’s intervention,” he added.
Ashutosh also said that AAP legislator from Narela was grilled by police for more than nine hours in the alleged suicide of party worker Soni and was asked to take names of any of the senior leaders or he would suffer.
Ashutosh referred to arrests of 10 MLAs, income tax raid against one legislator and “attempts to disqualify” 21 MLAs appointed as Parliamentary Secretaries to ministers through “false allegations”.
“I have got to know from my sources that Rakhi and Chauhan may also be arrested by this (Thursday) evening. But we just want to say that the country is watching all this and Modiji we are not scared of anything,” he said.
His remarks came a day after party chief and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal lashed out at the Prime Minister, even saying that Modi may “get me killed” and asked AAP MLAs to be ready for “ultimate sacrifice” in the wake of “unprecedented crackdown” by the BJP government.
