In a post on X in Hindi, the AAP had said: "At the behest of the Modi government, the Tihar jail administration cancelled Sunita Kejriwal's meeting with her husband Arvind Kejriwal. The Modi government is crossing all limits of inhumanity."
"Sunita Kejriwal was supposed to meet him tomorrow (Monday) but the Tihar administration has denied permission. The jail administration has not cited any reason for denying the permission," the party said.
However, Tihar jail officials said permission was granted to Delhi minister Atishi for a meeting on April 29, and protocols had already been arranged accordingly.

"Sunita has been meeting Kejriwal and there is no question of denying permission to her. We have to follow protocols and preparations have already been made for the Atishi's meeting," said a Tihar jail source, PTI reported.
The AAP, however, demanded transparency in the decision-making process.
"An elected chief minister is being treated like a terrorist. The Modi government should tell the people of the country as to why it is not allowing Sunita Kejriwal ji to meet her husband Arvind Kejriwal ji?" it said.
Punjab chief minister Bhagwant Mann is scheduled to meet Kejriwal on Tuesday.
