NEW DELHI, April 13, 2024 (TBINN)
Senior Aam Admi Party’s leader and Rajya Sabha M.P. Sanjay Singh today claimed that Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal was not being allowed in-person meetings with his family in Tihar Jail.
Addressing a press conference, Sanjay Singh said, “There is an attempt to break the morale of C.M. Kejriwal. His family has not been allowed in-person meetings with him. They are only allowed to meet him through the jangla. This is inhuman. Even hardcore criminals are allowed in-person meetings,” the A.A.P. leader said.
The ‘mulakat jangla’ is an iron mesh which separates the inmate from the visitor in a room inside the jail. A visitor and an inmate can talk to each other by sitting on different sides of the mesh.
“In the same Tihar jail, many meetings take place but Arvind Kejriwal, a three-time elected Chief Minister, is being humiliated and made to meet his family through the jangla. This is happening at the behest of the BJP-led Central government,” Sanjay Singh complained.
“His rights as an inmate are being snatched,” the A.A.P. leader, who was granted bail by the Supreme Court earlier this month after spending over six months in jail in the Delhi excise policy case, said.
There was no immediate reaction from the Tihar Administration.
