The officer who was present there at that time ordered the policemen to lathi charge.  He said that the Modi government is adopting a completely dictatorial attitude to stop the Aam Aadmi Party.

 Minister Harjot Bains said that when our convoy reached Delhi, we were stopped by the police on the border.  When we asked them why we were stopped, no reason was given to us by any of the officials. Even after a lot of struggle, when we were not allowed to go, I somehow changed my vehicle and reached Delhi.

 Harjot Bains said that the Modi government should remember that history is witness that whenever a revolution is stopped, it gets even stronger.
