Delhi Traffic Police has released an advisory ahead of the Aam Aadmi Party’s (AAP) proposed ‘gherao’ of prime minister Narendra Modi’s residence on Tuesday to protest the arrest of the party’s national convenor and Delhi chief minister, Arvind Kejriwal, by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in the liquor policy case.
To be sure, the advisory, which is for the national capital’s New Delhi district, does not specifically mention the AAP protest. It simply mentions a ‘special Law & Order arrangement on 26.03.2024.’
