AAP convenor Arvind Kejriwal attacked the Center over the police action on Sonam Wangchuk. He said the government should have negotiated instead of using force and should have reformed the education and examination system instead of crushing the movement.
New Delhi [भारत]July 18 (ANI): Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) national convenor Arvind Kejriwal on Saturday launched a scathing attack on the Center over police action against climate activist Sonam Wangchuk and supporters of the Cockroach Janata Party (CJP). He said that "arrogance is not good" and that the government should have negotiated instead of using force. The former Delhi Chief Minister criticized the attitude of the Modi government and said the focus should be on systemic reforms rather than suppressing dissent.
"This kind of arrogance is not good. Modi government should have talked to Sonam Wangchuk instead of forcibly raising her. Instead of crushing the movement, improve the education and examination system of the country," Kejriwal posted on Twitter. He further said, "The coercion against Sonam Wangchuk is a defeat for the Modi government."
Other AAP leaders also targeted
Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leaders Manish Sisodia, Sanjay Singh and Saurabh Bhardwaj also criticized the Delhi Police's action at Jantar Mantar, when climate activist Sonam Wangchuk was taken to hospital. Many opposition leaders have alleged repression of peaceful protests.

Sisodia wrote, "So, Modi ji has given this solution for the paper leak. Whoever raises voice against the paper leak, get him beaten by goons and do not let him raise his voice at all. This is not politics, it is cowardice. What a goon."
Sanjay Singh also criticized the action, claiming that Wangchuk was forcibly taken away despite being on a fast for a long time. Singh posted on
