Kejriwal’s arrest was illegal, was done without sanction, claims AAP
AAP leader Sanjay Singh said MHA sanction being sought now to prosecute Arvind Kejriwal, makes it clear that ED-CBI arrested him illegally under pressure
Sacked Delhi minister Kapil Mishra on Monday alleged the minority wing of the AAP distributed pamphlets urging Muslims to vote for the party in the August 23 Bawana assembly bypoll, a charge denied by the ruling outfit.
A photo of the purported pamphlet, carrying pictures of Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and Environment Minister Imran Hussain, was posted on Twitter by Mishra, who said he would approach the Election Commission against the AAP.

Terming the pamphlet “fake”, Hussain tweeted that he would immediately approach the police.

“A fake pamphlet was prepared with my picture on it. I am immediately lodging a complaint with the police. And I demand strictest action in this case,” the minister tweeted.
The party also lodged a complaint with the Delhi Police, seeking action.
The BJP was quick to latch on to the issue.
“The pamphlet was widely distributed by the AAP in Muslim-dominated areas of the Bawana assembly constituency,” Delhi BJP president Manoj Tiwari alleged.
Political parties are barred from seeking votes in the name of religion or caste.
