Kejriwal Alleges Centre Pressuring Venue to Cancel AAP's E20 Fuel Town Hall
AAP national convener Arvind Kejriwal alleged that the central government is attempting to disrupt the party's August 1 'National Town Hall Against E20' by pressuring the Constitution Club to cancel the event. The club declined, citing completed payment. Kejriwal stated police later asked him to seek permission, which he said was unnecessary for an indoor event. He reiterated AAP's opposition to E20 fuel and urged public participation to pressure the government to withdraw it. Delhi Police had no immediate comment on the allegations.
