Arvind Kejriwal Holds Rally at Jantar Mantar After Initial Police Permission Dispute

Arvind Kejriwal, following his discharge in the Delhi excise policy case, planned a public rally at Jantar Mantar on March 1, 2026. The Aam Aadmi Party initially claimed Delhi Police denied permission, citing last-minute cancellation linked to the court order. Police stated the decision was pending but later granted permission after discussions with AAP leaders. Kejriwal and party officials criticized the initial denial as authoritarian, emphasizing the constitutional right to hold rallies. The event proceeded as scheduled with Kejriwal addressing supporters.
