Many AAP MPs keep mum on Arvind Kejriwal’s arrest, leaders baffled
Chandigarh: The silence of five of the seven Punjab Rajya Sabha members of the Aam Aadmi Party during the present crisis faced by the party has baffled party leaders and legislators.
These members, all picked by the party top brass in 2022 from among business tycoons, sportspersons and social workers, have surprisingly not spoken against the arrest of their party chief Arvind Kejriwal. Only Sandeep Pathak, who is also the AAP national general secretary, and Raghav Chadha have spoken against the arrest.
Chadha is presently in London and is not able to attend any of the protests organised against the arrest of AAP supremo, either in Delhi or in Punjab. On the other hand, Sandeep Pathak has not only been actively participating in the protests, but also started holding volunteer meetings for the Lok Sabha poll.
Following Kejriwal’s arrest, all AAP leaders have changed their profile pictures on their social media handles, carrying pictures of an incarcerated Kejriwal, with the slogan “Modi ka sabse bada dar, Kejriwal”
Of the seven RS MPs from Punjab, Harbhajan Singh, Ashok Mittal, Sanjeev Arora, Balbir Singh Seechewal and Vikramjit Singh Sahney, have not changed their profile pictures, defying the party diktat
