Significantly, AAP's Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh, who was also present during the meeting between the Shiv Sena (UBT) chief and Arvind Kejriwal's family, said the former Maharashtra CM expressed solidarity with AAP and the Delhi CM over his 'illegal' arrest.
"Former Maharashtra CM Uddhav Thackeray along with his son Aaditya Thackeray, Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Raut came to meet Sunita Kejriwal and Arvind Kejriwal's parents. In Arvind Kejriwal's case, for the first time in the history of Indian judiciary, his release was stopped without a copy of the order. A new CBI case was made and he was forcibly kept in jail. So all these points were discussed," he said.
"Through ED-CBI they (Govt) want to suppress our voice. But we will all fight this government together. Everyone is standing with each other in this. Uddhav ji gave this assurance to Sunita Kejriwal and her family," he added.
