Arvind Kejriwal won't bow down, says Punjab CM

Punjab chief minister Bhagwant Mann on Thursday, 27 June said that AAP national convenor Arvind Kejriwal will not bow down no matter how much atrocities are committed on him.

Mann's statement came a day after the Delhi chief minister was arrested by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) in a corruption case linked to the alleged excise scam.

The Punjab chief minister also shared Kejriwal's picture in a post on X.

This picture represents the struggle against dictatorship. Arvind Kejriwal will not bow down, no matter how much atrocities you commit. The CBI's arrest after the ED's bail is a blatant misuse of the CBI at the behest of the BJP," Mann posted in Hindi on X.

After the arrest on Wednesday, a Delhi court sent Kejriwal to three-day custody of the CBI after the hearing of arguments on the probe agency's application during which the Delhi chief minister said he is innocent.

The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has alleged that central probe agencies are working with ill will and political malice against its leaders at the BJP's instance.
