Delhi: As AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal is being questioned by the CBI, the party’s Delhi convenor Gopal Rai has called for an emergency meeting at the party office in the national capital, media reports said.

Among those in attendance are AAP national secretary Pankaj Gupta, Delhi Mayor Shelly Oberoi, and Deputy Mayor Aaley Mohammad Iqbal.

All office bearers, district presidents, national secretaries, and party leaders have been asked to attend the meeting.

The emergency meeting has been called amid the detention of several party workers, who were protesting Arvind Kejriwal's questioning by the CBI.

AAP leaders Raghav Chadha, Sanjay Singh, Jasmine Shah and other party members were among those who were detained.

"The party is apprehensive of Kejriwal's arrest," AAP sources said, reported India Today.
