"False corruption charges were levelled against him (Arvind Kejriwal). The central government deployed all its agencies after him and kept him in jail in a false case. The Supreme Court not only granted bail to Arvind Kejriwal, but sharply criticised the central agencies likening them to 'caged parrot' and Arvind Kejriwal was arrested with an ill-intention..." said Delhi CM-designate Atishi after meeting LG Vinai Saxena.
