New Delhi [India], October 10 (ANI): Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MP Sanjay Singh on Saturday launched a scathing attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, accusing the Centre of misusing law enforcement agencies to shield "a thief" ahead of the CJP's planned protest in the national capital.
In a post on X, Singh questioned the widespread security deployment in the capital ahead of the demonstration.
"Kya aapne kisi desh mein chor ka itna samman dekha hai? Police ka kaam chor pakadne ka hai, lekin Modi ne poore desh ki police ek "chor" bachane mein laga di hai. Modi ji, "Gyanu chor" se aapka kya rishta hai? Kya ye rishta "chor-chor mausere bhai" ka hai?
Pehle lade the goron se, ab ladenge choron se. #Vote_Chor_Gaddi_Chhod, milte hain Jantar Mantar par"
(Have you ever seen a thief given this much respect in any country? The police’s job is to catch thieves, but Modi has put the entire country’s police to work protecting one “thief.” Modi ji, what is your relationship with “Gyanu the thief”? Is it the “birds of a feather” kind of bond (literally, “thieves are cousins of one another”)? We fought the British before; now we will fight the thieves. #VoteChorGaddiChhod. See you at Jantar Mantar)," Singh wrote.
क्या आपने किसी देश में चोर का इतना सम्मान देखा है? पुलिस का काम चोर पकड़ने का है, लेकिन मोदी ने पूरे देश की पुलिस एक “चोर” बचाने में लगा दी है। मोदी जी “ज्ञानू चोर” से आपका क्या रिश्ता है? क्या ये रिश्ता “चोर-चोर मौसेरे भाई” का है? पहले लड़े थे गोरों से, अब लड़ेंगे चोरों से। #वोट_चोर_गद्दी_छोड़ मिलते हैं जंतर मंतर पर।

Meanwhile, Delhi Police detained around 500 people who arrived in different groups from various locations ahead of the planned protest in the national capital, while nearly 50 people with criminal antecedents were also apprehended as part of preventive measures, officials said.
"Around 500 people coming in different groups from various locations have been detained. In addition, nearly 50 anti-social elements with criminal antecedents have been picked up so that they do not disturb the atmosphere or incite trouble," Delhi Police said.
As part of the security arrangements, the New Delhi district has been divided into 20 operational zones, with dedicated detention centres established for each zone, police said.
The security measures have been put in place to prevent any untoward incident during the demonstration, with police seeking to avoid a recurrence of the July 20 protests.
Unlike the arrangements made during the INDIA bloc protest, police teams have been authorised to carry lathis and batons. In view of alleged attempts to record and circulate videos portraying police personnel in a negative light, teams have been instructed to avoid verbal confrontations with protesters.
Those detained are to be taken to six designated centres: Chhatrasal Stadium, Rajiv Gandhi Stadium, Yamuna Sports Complex, Surajmal Stadium, the Community Centre in Daulatpur and the Community Centre in Pandrawal. (ANI)
