'Kejriwal's anarchism better than Congress, BJP's status quo': K C Tyagi

Says protests like these can solve people's problems in the long run

 

Janata Dal-United (JD-U) leader K C Tyagi on Wednesday defended the protest held by Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal to suspend the erring police officials, and said that he preferred Kejriwal's anarchism to Congress and Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP) status quo.

 

"There can be disagreement on the language and execution of a protest. But I prefer Kejriwal's anarchism to Congress and BJP's status quo," he said.

 

"I understand that the protest created problems for the people. To solve the problems of the public, sometimes protests create difficulties for the public. But in the long run, protests like these are taken up to solve people's problems," he added.

 

Earlier on Tuesday, Kejriwal called off his protest outside the Rail Bhawan, after the Lieutenant Governor Najeeb Jung appealed to end their protest.

 

Kejriwal-led Aam Aadmi Party has been protesting against the suspension of Delhi cops, who are accused by his administration of dereliction of duty.

 

Terming this as people's victory, Kejriwal said he will continue to work for women's protection in the capital.

 

Addressing his supporters, Kejriwal said, "Considering the Republic Day preparations and issue of national security, the Lieutenant Governor (LG) appealed to us to end our dharna."

 

"They have partially accepted our demands. They have decided to send police officials of Paharganj and Malviya Nagar on leave. The police have also arrested the culprits involved in the case of women in Sagarpur, who was burned," he added.

 

He also apologized to the people for the inconvenience caused to them due to shutting of the Metro stations, and also condemned action taken by police, which got people injured during the protest.
