AAP's protest for inaction of police on rape case

Aam Aadmi Party staged a  protested outside the Bhajanpura Police Station on the nigh of19th June 2013  after a married woman was raped here.

The woman, who was from Bihar, alleged that she was raped for three days in Bhajanpura.

The matter of protest is that the police has not registered a case yet.

However, Police claimed that an FIR was registered and two people have been arrested.

Even  AAP activists were also detained after they held a protest outside the police station.
The arrested volunteers were rounded up and brutally beaten by Delhi Police.
On the night of June 19^th, 15 AAP volunteers were picked up by police including 4 women volunteers. While the female volunteers were granted bail the next day the male volunteers were kept in custody despite serious injuries.  

Later, after detaining activists for three days, they have been granted bail on June 23rd(Sunday) by the city court.  However, despite granting bail, the volunteers were not released citing “technical” reasons.The eleven arrested male volunteers were produced in front of Shri Brijesh Garg, ASJ Kakardooma Court, who appreciated the right to protest as a fundamental right and held that AAP volunteers were protesting within their constitutionally guaranteed right.
Even though bail was granted to the 11 volunteers, Ms Harleen Singh, Metropolitan Magistrate of Karkardooma Court, did not accept the surety provided by the friends/ family members of 10 bailed out volunteers, while accepting surety of just one volunteer. Harleen singh has now ordered that the release of other 10 volunteers would be done at 2pm tomorrow afternoon after due verification of the soundness of the sureties.
Hundreds of AAP volunteers including Manish Sisodia and Gopal Rai reached Tihar Jail Gate No 3 to welcome Gulshan – the volunteer who was released today.

The point of Shame is that , media has not even notified this case to the public, not even a single line about this is shown in those damn news flashes !

Even Obama has in the past praised the non-violent  anti corruption campaign launched by Anna.

In his speech to the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) he mentioned non-violent protests in various parts of the world, including, seeking freedom and change. “We saw in those protesters the moral force of non-violence that has lit the world from Delhi to Warsaw, from Selma to South Africa,” said Obama. Although,he did not name Anna Hazare in particular in his speech but his point was clear.

Arvind gets Delhi citizenship for Elections

Arvind Kejrival has turned to a Delhiite (citizen of Delhi) by getting his voter identity card prepared in the Capital. He Surrendered  his old voter ID having the address of Kaushambi (UP) and got a new one having the F Block, Sundar Nagri in East Delhi as his new address.
Interestingly this new address is in-fact the address of the venue where Arvind's agitation against inflated power and water bills occurred in March (click here to know more about agitation)

Arvind has done this to be able to fight Assembly Elections in Delhi to be held in November this year(2013) because only a person whose name figures in the voters’ list in Delhi can fight the Assembly Elections.

Arvind is in-fact the only shortlisted candidate of AAP from the New Delhi assembly constituency. According to party sources, one candidate who earlier applied to contest from the same constituency withdrew after Mr. Kejriwal expressed his desire to contest from this area.

As per the details the AAP has uploaded on its website, Mr. Kejriwal also declared a flat worth Rs. 1 crore in Gurgaon and Rs. 1 lakh as bank balance on his wife’s name.
