AAP Karnataka unit observes Black Day' against Delhi CM Kejriwal's arrest
Bengaluru: The Karnataka unit of the Aam Aadmi Party on Friday staged a protest in the city condemning the arrest of Delhi Chief Minister and party leader Arvind Kejriwal.
Kejriwal was on Thursday night arrested by the Enforcement Directorate in an excise policy-linked money laundering case.
The arrest, the first of a serving Chief Minister, came hours after the Delhi High Court refused to grant protection to the AAP national convener from any coercive action by the central probe agency.
Led by the AAP state unit president H N Chandrashekar, popularly known as 'Mukhyamantri Chandru', the party workers observed ‘Black Day’ at the Freedom Park.
Speaking on the occasion, Chandrashekar alleged that Prime Minister Narendra Modi got Kejriwal arrested as he could not 'digest his growing popularity across the country.'
"What else can be expected from those who say they will change the Constitution itself. The central government has planned to punish those who are against the BJP by using organisations like the Income Tax Department and Enforcement Directorate,” he alleged.

Nation's prosperity key to individual progress: Mohan Bhagwat
Kochi (Kerala) (PTI): RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat on Monday said individual prosperity can be achieved only when the country is prosperous and secure.
He was addressing a gathering after inaugurating a two-day convention of Balagokulam, a cultural organisation for students affiliated with the RSS, here.
Bhagwat said prosperity and security cannot be achieved in isolation.
"When the country is prosperous and safe, families too attain prosperity and security. When individuals work for the prosperity and safety of the nation, they too become prosperous," he said.
He added that people are often encouraged to contribute towards nation-building.
Referring to the youth, Bhagwat said there is often confusion over whether to focus on personal career growth or work for the country's development.
"There should be no confusion as career building and working for the nation are not contradictory. The key lies in choosing the right path," he said.
As part of the inauguration, Bhagwat offered floral tributes to Lord Krishna.
He also interacted with children participating in the Balagokulam event.
