The issue of Arvind Kejriwal’s security has taken center stage in Delhi’s political scene ahead of the 2025 Assembly elections. Following objections from Delhi Police, Punjab Police withdrew the additional security provided to Kejriwal during election campaigns. This move has sparked a political uproar. AAP leaders, including spokespersons and ministers, accused BJP and Delhi Police of conspiring against Kejriwal, citing multiple attacks and intelligence alerts about threats to his life. AAP highlighted incidents of attacks on Kejriwal despite his Z-plus security. Meanwhile, BJP leaders, including MP Manoj Tiwari, justified the withdrawal, citing Election Commission directives prohibiting security by out-of-state police. The situation has turned into a heated debate, with both parties trading allegations, raising questions about Delhi Police’s impartiality and AAP’s stance on national security protocols.
