Kejriwal says ready for 10-day stir after being stopped on way to protest near home ministry: In an unprecedented action, Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal and his ministers on Monday began a sit-in near India Gate — being readied for Republic Day celebrations — demanding action against police officials for alleged negligence in two crime-related complaints made by Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) ministers Somnath Bharti and Rakhi Birla. Defying prohibitory orders enforced in the high-security area near the national seat of power, Kejriwal, accompanied by six of his ministers, attempted to go to North Block housing the home ministry to lodge a protest. However, they were stopped near the Rail Bhavan as the nearby Vijay Chowk and the entire Rajpath were sealed for the Republic Day rehearsal. Making an impromptu address to his MLAs and supporters, Kejriwal put the blame squarely on the Prime Minister, home minister and the Centre for the situation that led to his dharna and said he had come prepared for a 10-day stir.
