The Aam Aadmi Party today accused Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal of being driven to a “slow death” in Tihar jail by denying him insulin and doctor consultations.
Arvind Kejriwal, who has Type-2 diabetes, asked for insulin and video conferencing with his family doctor, but the jail administration has denied the requests, party spokesperson Saurabh Bharadwaj stated in a press conference.
“I want to say with full responsibility that a conspiracy is underway for the slow death of Arvind Kejriwal,” Saurabh Bharadwaj claimed citing blood sugar readings of the Chief Minister in jail.
He also slammed the Tihar administration, BJP, Centre and Delhi LG for allegedly denying insulin to Kejriwal and said the Delhi Chief Minister was suffering from diabetes for the last 20-22 years.
Senior legal counsel Abhishek Singhvi of the Chief Minister Council stated on Friday that Mr Kejriwal wasn’t given insulin to control his blood sugar levels since his imprisonment, which he described as “shocking” and “alarming”.
The ED alleged before the court on Thursday that Kejriwal was eating sugary foods like mangoes and sweets on a daily basis, despite having type 2 diabetes, in order to justify medical bail.
