#Delhi law minister’s arrest: Emergency-like conditions being imposed, says Manish Sisodia

Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia on Tuesday questioned the arrestof Law Minister Jitender Singh Tomarand said there is an emergency-like situation being imposed in Delhi.

Tomar was arrested in the alleged fake degree case. Police arrested the Aam Aadmi Party leader from his house this morning and took him to Hauz Khas police station for further questioning.

Addressing the press conference, Sisodia said, “The way Jitender Tomar was arrested it seemed as if they had come to arrest a Mafia. Is he a terrorist, has he set off a bomb in Delhi to be arrested.”

He further added that Tomar has been arrested to deter Delhi Government to act against corruption.

“AAP’s biggest achievement till date is that we have shaken the roots of corruption. Corrupt leaders are attempting to force an emergency-like situation in Delhi,” said Sisodia.

Stating that we won’t spare anyone who tries to stop us from fighting this war againstcorruption in Delhi, Sisodia added, “We have been elected to work. Those who stop us, we will fight them.”

Reacting sharply to the appointment of Joint Commissioner M K Meena as the head of the ACB, he said, “There is no post of a Joint Commissioner in ACB, yet an order was passed to appoint an official for this position.”

Meanwhile, AAP leader Ashutosh accused government of indulging in vendetta politics.

Ashutosh said, “Court should decide whether his papers are forged or not; the police has no business to get into this.”
