Shocking! Political analyst Malwinder Mali arrested by @PunjabPoliceInd without warrant or FIR copy! AAP's authoritarian streak exposed. Silence on issues, arrest of voices.

Patiala MP Dharamvira Gandhi also took to X informing of his arrest. In a statement issued today, Gandhi criticised the arrest of a social activist and political analyst from Punjab, Mali, on "flimsy" allegations. The Patiala MP advised the state government against using such "undemocratic and coercive steps," instead focussing on the state's deteriorating law and order situation.
