The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has called for a 'gherao' of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's residence to protest against the arrest of Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, sparking a contentious political showdown. Simultaneously, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has planned a counter-protest demanding Kejriwal's resignation, intensifying the political tension in Delhi.

AAP officials announced that all MLAs and office-bearers would gather at the party headquarters before marching towards the Prime Minister's residence. In response, BJP's mega march, led by Delhi Chief Virendra Sachdeva, is scheduled from Feroz Shah Kotla Stadium to the Delhi Secretariat.

The Sunday protest organized by AAP saw participation from representatives of the INDIA bloc. Delhi minister Gopal Rai expressed public anger over Kejriwal's arrest, emphasizing the need for solidarity against what they perceive as unjust actions.

Delhi Congress chief Arvinder Singh Lovely criticized the BJP, questioning the democratic integrity of arresting elected leaders and interfering with political processes. He affirmed Congress's commitment to defending democratic norms and resisting authoritarian actions.

The BJP has persistently demanded Kejriwal's resignation following his arrest, while AAP staunchly maintains Kejriwal's legitimacy as the Chief Minister, even if he operates from jail if necessary.

To ensure security, Delhi Police heightened measures along routes to the Prime Minister's residence, leading to temporary Metro station closures. AAP leaders changed their social media display pictures to show solidarity with Kejriwal, portraying him behind bars.

Kejriwal, in a message read by his wife Sunita Kejriwal, urged unity and resilience against divisive forces. He expressed determination to fulfill his promises upon release.

Delhi minister Atishi affirmed that despite Kejriwal's incarceration, AAP's work for Delhi's people will continue unabated. Kejriwal's legal challenges, including a plea challenging his arrest and custody by the Enforcement Directorate (ED), are set to be heard by the Delhi High Court on Wednesday.

The ED's accusations against Kejriwal relate to a now-scrapped policy, alleging impossibly high profit margins. The ongoing political saga underscores the deep-seated tensions and divergent narratives in Delhi's political landscape.

Overall, the situation reflects a complex interplay of legal, political, and public sentiment, highlighting the challenges and controversies surrounding Kejriwal's arrest and its ramifications on Delhi's governance and political dynamics.
