Ministers, MLAs and AAP activists going from Punjab to Delhi to support Arvind Kejriwal were stopped and lathi-charged by the Delhi Police on the Singhu border.

Health Minister Dr Balbir Singh and many workers were injured. They were admitted to Raja Harish Chandra Hospital, Narela.

The AAP ministers and MLAs along with workers sat on the road and raised slogans against the BJP government. Revenue Minister Brahm Shankar Jimpa told mediapersons that they were stopped by the Delhi Police on the Singhu border.

“Our volunteers were hit on their heads with lathis. The officer, who was present there at that time, ordered the policemen to cane charge the activists,” he said. The Modi government was adopting a dictatorial attitude to stop the Aam Aadmi Party, he alleged.
