Delhi Minister Atishi during a press briefing said that all the party leaders and workers changed their display pictures on their respective social media profiles to that of Kejriwal showcasing him behind bars.

Atishi further called on people to back the campaign by changing their pictures on social media stating that this would help save the constitution and democracy in the country.
“AAP will start a DP campaign for a wider outreach of Kejriwal’s vision. All leaders, legislators and karyakartas of APP will change their DP on all social media to a picture showing Kejriwal behind bars with a slogan reading ‘Modi ka sabse bada dar Kejriwal’,” Atishi said.

“Also I appeal to all people of the country, if you believe in Kejriwal, if you want to raise your voice against the injustices happening, if you want to save our democracy, you may also change the DP. And spread this message to the world that this is not just Kejriwal’s fight but a fight of the whole country, a fight to save democracy,” she added.
PM Modi trying to crush Kejriwal, alleges Atishi
Atishi further alleged that the Indian prime minister was “trying to crush Kejriwal due to fear of defeat” adding that AAP was waging a battle against “dictatorship” in the country.
“BJP’s political weapon ED arrested Kejriwal in a fake case. In a case in which even after two years of investigation not even a single rupee proceeds of crime were recovered from any of the AAP leaders. Arvind Kejriwal was arrested after the ECI announced the dates of Lok Sabha elections in a case whose investigation has been on for two years,” Atishi said while addressing a press conference at party headquarters in Delhi.
“Why did Prime Minister Narendra Modi arrest Arvind Kejriwal after the Lok Sabha election dates were announced? He was arrested because PM Modi knows, if there is any leader in this country who challenges him, it is Arvind Kejriwal,” she added.
Kejriwal was remanded to the custody of the Enforcement Directorate for seven days, i.e., until March 28.
He was arrested on Thursday (March 21) in connection with the Delhi excise policy scam case by the central probe agency.
