BJP calls AAP’s denial of medicine to Kejriwal claim a stunt
Delhi BJP President Virendra Sachdeva said the AAP is trying to gain sympathy for the jailed Delhi chief minister through the claim.
The president of Chamber of Trade and Industries and the Confederation of All India Traders (CAIT) are staging a protest demonstration on Tuesday against the ongoing sealing drive in the national Capital.
In a statement, the CAIT said that the sealing is being conducted by “sidelining fundamental provisions” of MCD Act, 1957 “under the guise of order of the Supreme Court” and demanded an investigation as to “why the traders are being deprived of such provisions”.
“The decision was taken at a meeting held on Saturday which was attended by trade leaders of about 400 leading trade associations from all over Delhi,” the traders’ body said.

It’s a ‘trade bandh’ and so shutters of the shops will remain closed in all markets and no commercial activity will take place, it added.
“Traders are being harassed by the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) since the past one month by sealing of shops. Traders’ Association has decided to hold Delhi Vyapar Bandh on 23 January”, Brajesh Gupta, president of Chamber of Trade and Industries, stated.
He further requested the BJP ruling in three corporations to stop the sealing and the “illegal collection in name of procurement charges”. Gupta also said that no notice was given to the traders before the sealing of the illegal construction.
Meanwhile, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has promised to stand by the traders during the ‘Delhi Bandh’.
