I was happy there were so many leaders to lead the movement, but I now learn that they have all been arrested,” he said.Wangchuk added that he hoped those detained would be released soon, warning: “I will be compelled to consider an Anshan Fast or Padyatra March if they are not released by tomorrow.”Among those detained on Saturday included TMC chief Mamata Banerjee, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) national convenor Arvind Kejriwal and All India Students’ Association (AISA) leader Neha Bora.

Sanjay Singh is here with me. The youth of the country has awakened. We are not going to be intimidated by Modi’s tyranny. Now, Gyanesh Kumar will have to resign. People will not tolerate this stealing of votes any more,” Kejriwal said.Urging people to join the agitation, the former Delhi chief minister added: “You all should also come out of your homes and fight to save the country.”
