Tihar Jail Meeting: Bhagwant Mann Accuses Authorities of Treating Arvind Kejriwal Like a Terrorist

Arvind Kejriwal, labelled “like a terrorist” says Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, faced a stark denial of basic amenities comparable to “hardcore criminals” during a meeting at Delhi’s Tihar Jail. The encounter, separated by a glass barrier, lasted 30 minutes, facilitated by a phone line.

Mann’s emotional reaction stemmed from witnessing Kejriwal’s treatment, deeming it unjust considering his contributions, notably the establishment of mohalla clinics. Despite incarceration, Kejriwal remains engaged in governance, intending to confer with two ministers next week regarding Delhi’s affairs.

Dismissing calls for resignation, Kejriwal, solely accused and not convicted, continues to administer Delhi from confinement. However, his term was extended to April 23 amid allegations of involvement in a liquor policy scam, allegedly yielding ₹600 crore in illicit gains.

The Delhi High Court recently upheld his arrest, citing sufficient evidence of complicity, prompting Kejriwal to appeal to the Supreme Court. The apex court has granted the Enforcement Directorate until April 27 to respond to his challenge.
