"Tomorrow, the people of Delhi will come together at Ramleela Maidan to protest against the dictatorial ordinance of the Central Government, which is depriving the people of Delhi of their rights. Join this rally to save the Constitution and democracy," Kejriwal tweeted on Saturday.

The AAP has vowed to utilize all its might and voice strong opposition against the ordinance during the Maha rally.

The party has claimed that more than one lakh people will join the rally at Ramlila Maidan.
