NEW DELHI: On Saturday morning, the Aam Aadmi Party’s political affairs committee held a meeting attended by senior members such as Atishi, Raghav Chadha, Durgesh Pathak and Sanjay Singh. Insiders revealed that CM advised the senior party functionaries to “remain together as BJP will try even more to crush the party”.
The Supreme Court had granted Kejriwal a 21-day interim bail on May 10 to enable him to campaign during the Lok Sabha polls.It had directed him to surrender on June 2, a day after the last phase of the seven-phase poll concludes. Kejriwal used his freedom to campaign extensively in Delhi and Punjab.
Sources in AAP said that the party would approach the courts to ensure that Kejriwal was provided with the necessary facilities to run the govt from prison. Kejriwal had earlier expressed uncertainty about the duration of his jail term, asserting that his “spirits are high” as he returned to prison to “save the country from dictatorship”.
CM had sought a seven-day extension to undergo health tests as necessitated by weight loss and the presence of high levels of ketones in his urine. But with the courts not granting relaxation, he will have to surrender on Sunday. “When I went to jail, my weight was 70kg. Today, it is 64 kg,” he said in a digital address to Delhiites. “Even after being released from jail, I am not putting on weight. Doctors say that this can be a sign of some serious disease in the body. Many tests need to be done,” he had said.
