CJP’s Abhijeet Dipke , in a final video appeal ahead of the protest at Jantar Mantar over CEC row in Delhi on October 10, said he was unsure whether he would be arrested upon landing in the national capital but asserted that he would not back down from the fight for free and fair elections.
He added that he was not afraid of being detained or arrested, or of facing charges under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) or the National Security Act (NSA). “I am not scared (even) if I am detained or arrested. The government can slap NSA or UAPA against me.
CJP wants free and fair polls and that cannot happen without (Chief Election Commissioner) Gyanesh Kumar’s resignation or scrapping of SIR or neutral procedure to appoint election commissioner,” he said, asking people to come to Jantar Mantar in large numbers. Dipke said he would travel from Mumbai to Delhi on Saturday morning and urged people to join the protest in large numbers.
