"We have detained some AAP workers who were protesting outside Anand's house without any permission," a senior police officer said. He said the activists were taken to a nearby police station and would be released soon.

AAP workers gathered outside Anand's house on Friday and raised slogans against him, accusing him of betrayal and pressure tactics against the party.

Anand, Social Welfare Minister in the Arvind Kejriwal-led government, resigned from his post on Wednesday.

It is understood that he has also resigned from the Aam Aadmi Party.

Speaking to the press, the AAP minister bared his soul and shared the reasons behind leaving Chief Minister Kejriwal's government despite holding the portfolio.

“I am resigning as minister. There is no morality left in this government to remain in power,” he told media persons.

He said, "I have come into politics on Kejriwal's promise that politics will change and if I change, the country will also change." Sadly, politics has not changed but leaders have changed,” he said, expressing displeasure over the party's changed stance on corruption.

Lamenting the plight of the party, he said, "AAP was born from the womb of anti-corruption movement, but today I find myself immersed in the deep roots of corruption."

He also criticized the AAP leadership for abandoning the teachings and legacies of Baba Saheb Ambedkar and distorting his ideals as necessary.
