Members of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), Assam and Raijor Dal protested in different parts of the state on Friday against the arrest of Delhi chief minister and AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal.

Following Kejriwal’s arrest, AAP had given a nationwide call for protest against the BJP-led government.

AAP members staged protests in various parts of the state. There were protests in Guwahati and Dibrugarh, to condemn the action taken by the ED, while terming it a “conspiracy hatched by the BJP against Kejriwal.


In Dibrugarh, AAP leaders, including the state unit president Bhaben Choudhury and AAP-nominated Lok Sabha candidate (for Dibrugarh seat), Manoj Dhanowar, were picked by the state police from the protest site, as AAP members shouted slogans against the BJP government.

Raijor Dal supporters staged a demonstration in Sivasagar town.Congress leader Gaurav Gogoi stated in X, “Crushing the Opposition is second nature for this government. Two lows on the same day – freezing the accounts of INC India and arresting sitting CM. “Independent agencies” are clearly working at the behest of political bosses,” Gogoi took to his X handle to react.

“The government is going to great lengths to silence opponents. The world’s largest democracy is headed to become a full-fledged autocracy. People watch, history remembers, truth prevails,” he said.
