Addressing a press conference, the Delhi minister Gopal Rai said, “I appeal to the countrymen to protest outside BJP offices across the country against this dictatorship. We will gather at the AAP office tomorrow at 10 am and then protest outside BJP headquarters.”
“If Kejriwal can be arrested, anyone can be arrested and their voice can be suppressed. From today, the fight has begun. Arvind Kejriwal is not a person but an ideology,” he said.
Gopal Rai called Kejriwal’s arrest “murder of democracy” and an “announcement of dictatorship”.
