Before Bhagwant Mann’s appearance at the Supreme Court over Kejriwal’s petition challenging his Enforcement Directorate arrest, he paid a visit to Kejriwal at Tihar jail. After seeing the circumstances first-hand, he came away expressing frustration, suggesting that Kejriwal’s treatment was akin to a hardened criminal, despite not receiving the same entitlements. Mann recounted that Kejriwal seemed more concerned about the state of Punjab rather than his comfort in detainment. He also uttered words of assurance, promising that AAP continues to stand with Kejriwal and they’re poised to emerge as a considerable political entity post-June 4.
