UK's Independent trolled over ‘State of Emergency’ report after Delhi Deputy CM Manish Sisodia’s arrest
After the arrest of Manish Sisodia in the liquor policy scam, the UK-based media house Independent reported on the matter and termed the incident as a state of emergency. Following the report by the UK-based media house, users took to Twitter to question the veracity of the reports.
Aam Aadmi Party leader and Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia was questioned by the CBI in the now-retracted liquor policy case. After 8 hours of questioning, the Deputy Chief Minister was taken into custody by the probe agency.
Subsequently, Manish Sisodia was presented in a Delhi Court where the court ruled in favor of the probe agency. The Court granted five-day custody of Manish Sisodia to CBI and directed the AAP top brass leader to be produced in court on 2nd March.
The arrest of the Deputy Chief Minister triggered many Aam Aadmi Party workers to take to the streets and protest the arrest. Not only the AAP but the arrest of the Deputy CM was slammed by various leaders across party lines who had dubbed the arrest to be politically motivated.
However, the report by the UK-based Independent that termed the arrest of the Deputy CM as a state of emergency garnered a lot of flak.
Following the Independent’s report, users took to Twitter to slam the claim of a state of emergency by the media house. One user wrote and cited the UK to be in a bad state and pointed out the irony of the Independent’s report that claimed India to be in a ‘state of emergency’.

Another user wrote and pointed out the irony of the media house of a country which had 3 Different Prime Ministers in a span of One Month concerned about ‘State of Emergency’ in our country.
One user also wrote and questions the British online newspaper’s narrative and further wrote that the British media will fall to any level to hurt India’s growth trajectory.
