>Two wrongs don't make a right.

Absolutely. I am saying you are picking and choosing as per your convenience. People get arrested all the time, just because it was a minister it made headlines. I only wish people rotting in jail (in all countires) with no charges against them had a voice, just like AAP government

> In any functioning democracy, government should not be able to arrest members of their opposition parties or journalists just based on allegations.

I wanted to know from you what country is a good example of a functioning democracy. Not what is your idea of a functioning democracy.

> Exactly! Who says Manish Sisodia did a scam? The BJP government did say, but they are a ruling party who will benefit from keeping their opponents in jail/courts.

CBI did. They are a law enforcing authority in India and they decided that arrest is the correct course of action in this case.
