New Delhi:
The Aam Aadmi Party on Sunday alleged that there was an “acute” danger to Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s health in judicial custody.
Addressing a press conference here, Delhi cabinet minister Atishi said Kejriwal, who is a severe diabetic, has had his sugar levels falling dangerously low.
“The BJP has conspired to put Kejriwal in jail in a fake case. There is an acute danger to his health. His weight has declined by 8.5 kgs and his sugar levels have fallen below 50 five times in sleep. This is a worrying situation especially for a diabetic,” she said.
“If Kejriwal suffers a stroke, if there is brain damage and permanent damage, who will be responsible,” she said, claiming the AAP chief is unable to get proper medical attention as he is in jail.
When the minister was asked whether they would approach court over the matter, she said they are consulting their lawyers and doctors over the issue.
“The BJP should know that if anything happens to Arvind Kejriwal, not just the country but God will also not forgive them,” Atishi said.
