Sisodia's arrest: KCR, opposition leaders write to Modi

The letter also gave several examples that showed the Modi government's well-known strategy of going after opposition parties while letting BJP leaders and people who support the saffron party go free.

After the arrest of Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia, Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao and other Opposition leaders rushed to write a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi condemning the obvious misuse of central agencies.

In a letter signed by Chandrashekhar Rao, Mamata Banerjee (AITC), Arvind Kejriwal and Bhagwant Mann (AAP), Tejashwi Yadav (RJD), Farooq Abdullah (JKNC), Sharad Pawar (NCP), Uddhav Thackeray (Shiv Sena, UBT), and Akhilesh Yadav (SP), the Opposition said

The leaders said the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) arrested Sisodia for alleged irregularities after a long witch hunt, but there wasn't a single piece of evidence against him. They said the accusations against Sisodia were false and looked like a political plot.

Manish Sisodia is known all over the world for changing the way schooling works in Delhi. His arrest will be used as an example of a political witch hunt all over the world. It will also confirm what the rest of the world already thought: India's democratic values are at risk under an authoritarian BJP regime.
