He also alleged that efforts are being made to demoralise the Delhi CM in the jail.
“This is Arvind Kejriwal, he is made of a different clay… The more you try to break him, the stronger he will come back…,” Singh said.
He further said, “Yesterday, CM Bhagwant Mann became emotional during the meeting. This is an emotional matter for all of us but it is a matter of shame for BJP and PM Narendra Modi.”
Earlier on Monday, Bhagwant Mann, after meeting with Kejriwal, alleged that he was being treated like a terrorist.
Mann, who was accompanied by AAP MP Sandeep Pathak, was allowed to meet Kejriwal in the jail but they were separated by a glass wall and spoke on the phone.
Kejriwal was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate on March 21 in connection with a money laundering case linked to the now-scrapped Delhi excise policy.
Yesterday, Delhi’s Rouse Avenue Court had extended his judicial custody in the case till April 23.
