While AAP workers chanted slogans against the Bharatiya Janata Party led Centre, Singh's 87-year-old father forbade them from using unparliamentary language.
His father, Dinesh Singh said that the federal agency found no basis for arresting Singh adding that he was apprehended because "they were told" to do so. "I said you (Sanjay Singh) to go, followers are with you."
Most of AAP Volunteers are feeling Angry & Fragile.

"They questioned and searched the house, computer, and documents but did not find anything. There was pressure upon them (ED officials) to arrest him and they arrested him. They (ED) did not give us any reason. We all are with him. He has been arrested in a fake case," she said while speaking to reporters.
