    Amanatullaha’s arrest unconstitutional, says MLA’s wife, calls for Okhla bandh

    The arrest of Ammanatullah Khan on Thursday from Kanchan Kunj is unsconstitutional, according to the MLA’s wife Shafia. In a social media post shared on Khan’s official timeline she wrote in Hindi: “He has been sent behind the bars for raising the voice of public. I request Okhla residents to keep their shops closed from 9 am to 5 pm to protest his arrest…”

    “अमानुतल्लाह खान की गिरफ्तारी असंवैधानिक है, जनता की आवाज़ बुलंद करने पर उन्हें सलाखों के पीछे भेजा गया है। ओखला की आवाम से मेरी गुज़ारिश है कि गिरफ्तारी के विरोध में कल सुबह 9 बजे से शाम 5 बजे तक अपनी दुकानों को बंद रखे ताकि हम भाजपा की इस ज़ालिम सरकार को यह बता सकें कि ओखला की अवाम अपने विधायक के साथ खड़ी है।,” wrote Shafia, wife of Khan.

    Earlier in the day video surfaced on the social media in which MLA Khan is seen announcing about his arrest from Kanchan Kunj where he said he had gone with his associates to peacefully protest against the SDMC’s anti-encroachment drive in the locality.

    According to ANI report a few minutes ago, in the encroachment removal drive in the area of Madanpur khadar of PS Kalindi Kunj, Amanatullah Khan, along with 5 other supporters, was arrested in Case FIR No. 246/2022 U/s 186/333/353/147/148/149/153 for rioting & obstructing public servants in discharge of duty: Delhi Police.”

    He was sent to judicial custody, said Khan’s close aide. An FIR was lodged against him. Besides Khan, five others have been arrested by the police on charges of rioting and obstructing public servants from discharging duty.

    Earlier in the day, Khan said he is “ready to go to jail if it saves the houses of poor people”, ANI reported. “I will support them (civic body) in demolition if there is any encroachment,” the 48-year-old MLA was quoted as saying. A few days ago Khan had even turned up at Shaheen Bagh where the bulldozer had to return without taking any action. Then three Congress leaders and Ashu Khan were detained to be released later on the same day.

    An FIR was lodged against Khan over Shaheen Bagh incident as well.
