Minutes after the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) claimed chief minister Arvind Kejriwal was put under house arrest after his visit to the farmers protesting the three central farm laws at the national capital’s Singhu border on Monday, Delhi Police refuted the charges on Tuesday.
“BJP’s Delhi Police has put Hon’ble CM Shri @ArvindKejriwal under house arrest ever since he visited farmers at Singhu Border yesterday. No one has been permitted to leave or enter his residence,” the ruling party wrote on Twitter.
The police also took to Twitter to say that Kejriwal exercises his right to free movement within the law of the land and shared a photograph of the house entrance of the chief minister.
“The CM met farmers at Singhu border yesterday. He had said that we’ll serve them like ‘sevadars’ and support them. After he returned, Delhi Police barricaded his residence from all sides, putting him in a house-arrest like situation, at the behest of home ministry,” AAP leader Saurabh Bharadwaj said in a brief media address.
