On Monday, former Delhi Chief Minister and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Arvind Kejriwal made an important tweet thanking famous YouTuber Dhruv Rathi. In the tweet, Kejriwal shared the link to Dhruv Rathi’s documentary “Unbreakable,” which prominently highlights AAP’s struggles. The documentary makes serious allegations against the central government and shows how power was misused to target AAP and its leaders. It also illustrates how pro-government films and other promotional materials were promoted, while attempts were made to suppress opposing voices. The documentary sends a message of standing against power, showing how AAP’s leaders and their families faced significant struggles over the past two years.
In his post, Arvind Kejriwal wrote, “This film is deeply emotional for me. It is the story of our struggle over the past two years. No other party in the country has faced such conspiracies and attacks from the entire system. But difficult times show who we really are.” He thanked Dhruv Rathi for showing the courage to bring out the documentary when the entire government and political establishment were against the party. Kejriwal also mentioned that this film is the first time AAP’s side has been presented to the world. He appealed to his supporters to watch the film and spread it to as many people as possible.
Dhruv Rathi, who has long been critical of the central government and the BJP, released the “Unbreakable” documentary on his YouTube channel. This documentary focuses on AAP’s struggles over the last two years, especially when many prominent party leaders were arrested on corruption charges. Among these leaders were Arvind Kejriwal, Manish Sisodia, Sanjay Singh, and other senior leaders. This was also the time when AAP faced several political attacks from the central government and the BJP. However, these leaders are now out on bail and campaigning for their party in the Delhi elections. Through this documentary, Dhruv Rathi aimed to show people that it is a record that presents AAP’s struggles in the right way.
The main objective of “Unbreakable” was to highlight the political attacks and conspiracies faced by AAP and its leaders. The film shows how false charges were leveled against the party’s leaders and an organized campaign was run to imprison them. It also highlights how screenings of the film were blocked because the powers that be did not want it reaching the public. The film also exposes the activities of the central government, which targeted the party and its leaders.
Arvind Kejriwal, in a tweet about the documentary, stated, “When the entire system tried to stop this film, Dhruv Rathi showed the courage to bring it out to the world. This film presents our struggle and our side correctly.” He also asked why the BJP is so afraid of this film and why it wants to stop it.
Delhi Police stopped the screening of the film, saying it violated the election code of conduct. Their argument was that political parties needed to obtain permission from the District Election Officer to screen such a documentary. The police argued that this documentary could be considered election propaganda, so showing it without permission was inappropriate. Kejriwal criticized this decision and raised the question, if the film is only revealing the truth, why is the BJP afraid of it? He also mentioned that the film is the story of the party’s struggle, which is entirely legitimate and legal.
Dhruv Rathi responded regarding his documentary, saying that he decided to make it because he felt that the conspiracies and false charges faced by AAP and its leaders needed to be openly discussed. He added that through this film, he wanted to show his audience how those in power misuse democratic institutions and processes. He also mentioned that through this film, he aimed to teach people that they should never be afraid to stand up against anyone, no matter how big the pressure might be.
Arvind Kejriwal has fully supported the promotion of this documentary, urging people to watch it and share its message. He believes that this film is not just an important part of the party’s journey, but it can also be an inspiration to those who are afraid to raise their voices. Kejriwal also stated that the film sends a strong message that AAP will never break and their struggle will continue.
Now the question is, will this documentary impact the Delhi elections? This film could certainly become a crucial part of AAP’s campaign, as it prominently displays the party’s struggles. However, it is hard to say how much it will affect the election results, as films and documentaries don’t always play a decisive role in elections. Still, it wouldn’t be wrong to say that “Unbreakable” has provided a new source of strength and inspiration for Arvind Kejriwal and his supporters.
There are certain things in this documentary that have already been said publicly, but the film presents them in a professional manner, bringing them together. It also includes the experiences of the party’s leaders and their families, who endured hardships during those tough times. Additionally, the film may help people understand that when someone is targeted in politics, it should not be seen as just a political game, but as an attack on democracy and human rights.
“Unbreakable” has certainly sparked a new debate and could serve as a strong message to all those who stand up against power and seek the truth. The release of the film has shown that raising a voice against power is never easy, but when one stands for the truth, it always prevails. Through this film, Arvind Kejriwal and AAP have tried to prove that they will never break and their struggle will continue, no matter what attempts are made.
