Akali Dal chief Sukhbir Singh Badal, Lok Sabha MP Harsimrat Kaur Badal and around a dozen other leaders were detained by Delhi Police this afternoon, as they alleged authorities used "force" to stop a 'black Friday march' by the party to mark one year of protests against the centre's farm laws.

As per news report of NDTV, Sukhbir Singh Badal and the others were detained for violating Section 144 - orders banning large gatherings - and taken to the Parliament Street Police Station. As they were detained Sukhbir Badal told Akali Dal workers and other protesters to disperse peacefully. "We were here to protest... Delhi Police used force to stop us. Police sealed the borders... our workers were lathi charged. (Arvind) Kejriwal government gave orders that we cannot gather at a gurudwara... central government also stopped us. This is undemocratic," Ms Badal told NDTV.
