Sunita Kejriwal and Atishi, a minister from Delhi, made a visit to Tihar jail on Monday to meet with their colleague, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, who is currently serving time there. According to a prison official, the two women arrived at around 12:40 p.m. to visit the jailed CM.
After their meeting with CM Kejriwal, Atishi spoke to reporters and shared some details of their conversation. She mentioned that the first thing the CM asked about was the well-being of the people of Delhi. He was especially concerned about the availability of medicines and wanted to ensure that everyone had access to them. Atishi also mentioned that the CM had a message for women, promising to announce a monthly stipend of Rs 1,000 for women in Delhi.
During the press conference, Atishi also raised concerns about the previous denial of Sunita Kejriwal's request to visit her husband in jail. She remarked that the treatment of political prisoners in Tihar jail was starting to feel like a dictatorship, despite initially being treated with respect.
In other news, Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann is also scheduled to visit CM Kejriwal in jail on Tuesday. This comes after the Delhi CM's arrest on March 21 by the Enforcement Directorate for his alleged involvement in an excise scam. He is currently being held in Jail No-2 at Tihar.
Despite being behind bars, CM Kejriwal has requested to meet with six individuals during his time in prison. However, the ED has labeled him as the "kingpin and key conspirator" in the alleged scam, along with other ministers from the Delhi government, AAP leaders, and other individuals.
