New Delhi: Delhi Water Minister Atishi begins an indefinite hunger strike in Bhogal, demanding Haryana release an additional 100 million gallons of water daily to Delhi. Despite efforts, Haryana hasn\u2019t provided Delhi\u2019s full water share, affecting 2.8 million residents amid a heatwave. Atishi emphasises \u2018Satyagraha\u2019 to fight this injustice.<\/p>\n
\u201cDespite every possible effort, the Haryana government is not providing adequate water to Delhi. Mahatma Gandhi has taught that if one has to fight against injustice, one must adopt the path of Satyagraha. I will start the \u2018Water Satyagraha\u2019 from today. I will go to Rajghat at 11am and pay tribute to Gandhiji. I will start an indefinite fast at Bhogal, Jangpura from 12 noon. I will remain on fast until the people of Delhi get their rightful share of water from Haryana\u201d, Atishi wrote on X (formerly Twitter).<\/p>\n
Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) ministers Saurabh Bharadwaj, Imran Hussain and other MLAs had gathered at the Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal\u2019s residence from where they will proceed towards Raj Ghat.<\/p>\n
CM Kejriwal\u2019s wife Sunita Kejriwal will also accompany the AAP leaders to Raj Ghat.<\/p>\n
From Raj Ghat, the AAP leaders will go to Jangpura where Atishi will begin her fast, an AAP official aware of the developments said.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, AAP leaders are planning to reach Tihar Jail in the evening expecting Kejriwal\u2019s release which is subject to hearing in the Delhi high court on Friday.<\/p>\n
A Delhi court on Thursday granted regular bail to Kejriwal in the money laundering case registered by Enforcement Directorate (ED) in the Delhi excise policy case.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe accused is admitted to bail in the sum of \u20b91 lakh,\u201d vacation judge Niyay Bindu announced while pronouncing the verdict.<\/p>\n
The judge added that the detailed order will be released on Friday morning.<\/p>\n
However, ED has moved the Delhi high court challenging regular bail granted to Kejriwal in the excise policy case.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
