Manish Sisodia to be produced in court today, AAP to hold massive protest at BJP HQ

The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) will carry out a nationwide protest on Monday against Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia's arrest in the Delhi liquor scam case.  After nearly eight hours of interrogation about different parts of the tax policy for 2021–22, including allegations of corruption in the now-scrapped policy pertaining to the sale of alcohol, Sisodia was taken into custody.

Owing to the protests, the national capital has been placed on high watch, and the Delhi Police has made extensive security preparations to preserve the status quo of law and order. It is believed that the party will also hold protests in Gujarat's Gandhinagar, Haryana's Rohtak, Noida, etc.  

The party will also stage protests at the Bharatiya Janata Party's Headquarters at the Deen Dayal Upadhyay Marg in the national capital at around 12 pm om Monday.
