Opposition's 'Maha Rally' Rallying for Democracy Amidst Kejriwal's Arrest

In response to the recent arrest of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on money-laundering charges linked to an excise policy, the opposition INDIA bloc, led by AAP's Gopal Rai, has announced a massive gathering at Delhi's Ramlila Maidan on March 31. The aim is to defend democracy and the country's interests amidst growing concerns over governmental overreach.

Rai emphasized the urgency of safeguarding democratic values, accusing the ruling BJP of orchestrating arrests without substantial evidence and coercing individuals to implicate Kejriwal and financially support the BJP. The 'maha rally' seeks to unite various opposition parties in a concerted effort to counter what they perceive as authoritarian tendencies within the government.

Arvinder Singh Lovely, Delhi Congress chief, underscored the rally's significance in defending democratic principles against alleged misuse of investigative agencies to stifle dissenting voices. Meanwhile, BJP workers staged protests demanding Kejriwal's resignation, citing his purported violations of the law and repeated defiance of ED summons.

The rally symbolizes a broader opposition push to combat perceived threats to democratic norms and ensure governmental accountability. As tensions escalate, political discourse intensifies, underscoring the pivotal role of public participation in shaping the country's democratic future.
