The tussle between the Tihar jail administration and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) does not seem to be ending, as the party sources on Monday claimed that Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has expressed concern over the jail administration’s statements on the issue of insulin and AIIMS doctors assuring no serious problem to him, through a letter to jail Superintendent.

In the letter, CM Arvind Kejriwal said, "I have read the statement of Tihar administration in the newspaper. I felt sad after reading the statement. Both the statements of Tihar are false. I am asking for insulin daily. I showed the glucose meter readings and said that the sugar is going very high three times a day. Sugar goes between 250 to 320."

Delhi CM further said that he has been demanding insulin on an everyday basis but has been refused. He added that the Tihar jail administration has been lying under political pressure.

Meanwhile, AAP minister Atishi on Monday alleged that the Enforcement Directorate (ED) and Tihar officials are conspiring against him and are being hatched to ensure that Kejriwal does not get insulin in jail.

"Kejriwal had filed his application in Rouse Avenue Court that he wants to consult his doctor through video conferencing and start insulin. ED and the Tihar administration have opposed this application. They have said that Arvind Kejriwal does not need insulin. They said in the court that they have talked to the AIIMS doctors about what Kejriwal needs," Atishi said.

She also alleged that no consultation was done with Arvind Kejriwal before deciding on his diet chart.
