With a complaint lodged against Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia, 52 state legislators of the ruling AAP were detained by police on Sunday.
Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia on Sunday targeted "political bosses" at the Centre, daring them to arrest all AAP state legislators at once.
"The attitude of their political bosses is that, somehow put the AAP MLAs in jail. They are making excuses left, right and centre and putting them in jail by any means possible. If you want to arrest, then why don't you arrest everyone together," Mr Sisodia said at an Iftaar party organised in Delhi Assembly premises.
In the midst of Delhi government's running battle with the Centre, the deputy Chief Minister said, "Why waste Delhi police resources? Today they told them to arrest us which they did. They could have put us under arrest for more time. They will do so again and we will go again."
With a complaint lodged against Mr Sisodia, 52 state legislators of the ruling AAP were detained by police on Sunday while they were on their way to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Race Course Road residence to protest the arrest of AAP leader Dinesh Mohaniya.
The state legislators were detained for violating prohibitory orders in force around 7 Race Course Road and were later released.
