New Delhi/IBNS: Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s wife, Sunita will not only attend the INDIA bloc’s grand rally here at Ramlila Maidan on Sunday but will also deliver a message from the AAP supremo, who is under the custody of the Enforcement Directorate (ED) for the alleged excise liquor policy case.

The mega-named Loktantra Bachao, or Save Democracy rally, is being organised by opposition leaders against the arrest of the AAP chief by ED.

Speaking about the rally, AAP’s national spokesperson, Priyanka Kakkar, said, “Sunita Kejriwal will attend the INDIA Alliance rally and also deliver a message from Arvind Kejriwal.”

Aam Aadmi Party workers have already gathered at Ramlila Maidan to protest against the CM’s arrest.

The prominent leaders from various parties, including Congress, NCP, Shiv Sena (UBT), Samajwadi Party, RJD, DMK, National Conference, Jharkhand Mukti Morcha, and the Aam Aadmi Party, are expected to participate in the rally.

The rally is also being seen as a show of strength and unity by the INDIA bloc ahead of the Lok Sabha elections scheduled to commence in a few weeks.

The opposition leaders are expected to speak out strongly against what it calls the BJP's misuse of central agencies like the Enforcement Directorate, CBI, and the Income Tax Department.

Their allegations have gained momentum after the arrests of Kejriwal and former Jharkhand chief minister Hemant Soren, and the tax notices issued to the Congress, including one for Rs. 1,800 crore which was sent on Friday.

Some of the leaders in attendance will be Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge, senior party leader Rahul Gandhi, Samajwadi Party President Akhilesh Yadav, NCP (Sharadchandra Pawar) chief Sharad Pawar, Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray, Senior RJD leader and former Bihar deputy chief minister Tejashwi Yadav. Jharkhand Chief Minister Champai Soren, National Conference President Farooq Abdullah, PDP chief Mehbooba Mufti, and the DMK's Tiruchi Siva.
