Just weeks before Lok Sabha elections, the Delhi Minister and Aam Aadmi Party chief Arvind Kejriwal has been arrested by the Enforcement Directorate in the alleged liquor policy . Kejriwal has become the first sitting chief minister to be arrested in the history of Independent India.

Aam Aadmi party leader and education minister Atishi said that Kejriwal will remain the chief ministry and will operate until  proven guilty by the court.

Atishi said that  Kejriwal is not just a man, he is a thought. If you think arresting one Kejriwal can finish off the thought, you are wrong. Kejriwal is, was and will remain the Delhi chief minister. We have said from the beginning that he will run the government from jail if need be. No law stops him from doing so,” she said. 

Atishi said the fight will go on and the party has approached the Supreme Court against his arrest. “Our lawyers are going to the court for urgent mentioning. We will demand that the case be heard tonight itself.

Speaking from outside the chief minister's residence on Thursday, Delhi minister Atishi said, “We are getting reports that the Enforcement Directorate has arrested Kejriwal.

His arrest is a conspiracy by the BJP and Prime Minister . Since the investigation of this case began two years ago, not one rupee has been recovered by the ED or the despite over 1,000 raids on leaders and ministers.”

Arvind Kejriwal's arrest after the announcement of the Lok Sabha election is a conspiracy. Kejriwal is not just a man, he is a thought. If you think arresting one Kejriwal can finish off the thought, you are wrong. Kejriwal is, was and will remain the Delhi chief minister. We have said from the beginning that he will run the government from jail if need be. No law stops him from doing so,” she said in Hindi.
