The Telangana AamAadmi Party (TAAP) leaders gathered at Dharna Chowk at Tank Bund to participate in a nationwide fast protesting the arrest of Delhi Chief Minister and AAP convenor Arvind Kejriwal. They were joined by other parties from the I.N.D.I.A bloc alliance like CPI, CPI(M), RSP, Congress, TJS, and Liberation Party.
The nationwide protests in support of Arvind Kejriwal saw AAP leaders gathering at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi to call for a collective fast. The Delhi unit convener Gopal Rai urged people to join the protest against Kejriwal’s arrest, which he claimed was part of a BJP conspiracy to undermine the AAP.
Protests similar to the one in Hyderabad have taken place in various states and even by Indians abroad, with demonstrations held at iconic locations like the Hollywood Sign in Los Angeles, Harvard Square in Boston, outside the Indian Embassy in Washington, DC, New York Times Square, London, Toronto, and Melbourne. Arvind Kejriwal is currently in judicial custody until April 15.
