Responding to the arrests, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal stated even the British didn’t arrest those that put up posters in opposition to them in the course of the independence motion.
“Even earlier than independence when freedom fighters used to place up posters, there have been no FIRs or motion in opposition to them by the British,” Mr Kejriwal stated as quoted by information company PTI. “Bhagat Singh had pasted a number of posters in the course of the British rule, not a single FIR was lodged in opposition to him.”
