Protesting against the Delhi Police in Rail Bhavan on Monday, Delhi Law Minster Somnath Bharti said that the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) will give up their lives but fight for the people of Delhi.

"We will give up our lives but will fight for the people of Delhi. The people are unhappy because of absolute anarchy created by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Congress," said Bharti.

"They are also unhappy because of the barbarous attitude of Delhi police," he said.

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and other AAP leaders were stopped at Rail Bhavan by the Delhi Police while heading for a protest outside Union Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde's office demanding action against Delhi Police today.

The party is demanding action against Delhi Police personnel for alleged dereliction of duty.

Party leader Sanjay Singh made it clear yesterday that AAP will stage the protest if no action is taken against the police officers.

AAP is demanding the suspension of the station house officers (SHO) of Sagarpur and Malviya Nagar police stations and two assistant commissioners of police.
