AAP justifies protest, says Gadkari will be exposed soon

New Delhi, May 22 (ANI): AAP leaders on Thursday justified the protest held by AAP supporters against AAP Chief Arvind Kejriwal's arrest outside Tihar Jail on Wednesday. Ashutosh stated that AAP respects law and order but protesting peacefully against injustice was not wrong. Meanwhile, Sanjay Singh raised questions as to why action was not taken against BJP leader Ram Jethmilani as he too had called Nitin Gadkari as corrupt several times. He also said that Narendra Modi had called Kejriwal a 'Pakistani agent' in public for which he had no proof, thus raising questions on law and order of the nation to take action against him too. Singh added that Kejriwal is highly enthusiastic to hold protests and will expose Gadkari in public with all proofs of corruption against him. May 22, 2014
