The leader rules from prison: "Greedy - should resign"
Representatives of the Indian ruling party BJP demand that opposition politician Arvind Kejriwal, who has been detained on suspicion of money laundering, resign from his political posts. It is reported by Hindustan Times.
- He should resign purely morally and hand over his responsibility to someone else. The fact that Arvind Kejriwal remains on his mandate shows that he is greedy, says a local BJP representative.
Kejriwal has continued to rule the New Delhi region, where he is elected as the so-called chief minister, from custody.
- Despite being imprisoned, Arvind Kejriwal cares about the people of Delhi and their health. He is worried that they will suffer after he is jailed,” said a spokesperson for Kejriwal's AAP party.

Protesters arrested by police outside Modi's residence
A large number of protesters linked to Indian opposition parties have been arrested ahead of a planned protest outside Prime Minister Narendra Modi's home in New Delhi today, writes Bloomberg.
The demonstrators are protesting the arrest of opposition politician Arvind Kejriwal last week.
According to Bloomberg, a counter-demonstration by Modi's BJP party was carried out without police intervention. According to the opposition, the protests will continue.
- There are already protests in the streets around the country and the pace will increase in the coming days, opposition politician Gopal Rai told Reuters.
