Political Analyst and activist, Tehseen Poonawalla who was recently seen in Colors TV Bigg Boss 13 as a wildcard contestant was recently detained by Delhi Police. Tehseen protested against the Finance Minister Mrs. Nirmala Sitharaman's comment on the rising prices of onion in the country. In the recent video, Sitharaaman was seen clearly stating that she is not bothered by the rising prices of Onion as she comes from a family that does not eat onions and garlic.

This did not go well with Tehseen as he announced a unique "wheelchair and onion" protest on his social media handle on 4th December. He went on to clarify that he will not violate any section of 144 but it is imperative that their voice is heard and he will take it to the streets against the government.

However, Tehseen was then detained by the Delhi Police for his protest.

Speaking exclusively to India Forums, Tehseen stated that, "The bizarre statement of the finance minister Mrs. Nirmala Sitharaman on the floor of the house that her family and she do not eat onions, should rightly be condemned as it smacks of arrogance. The common man is crippled due to the soaring onion prices and I took a sack of onions and a wheelchair to protest against the statement of the finance minister. The Delhi Police detained me without any reason even as I was peacefully speaking to the media and when I challenged them to file an FIR against me and questioned them on what law did I break, they took selfies with me and requested me to leave. Are we even a democracy any more that we can't peacefully ask our own ministers questions on why we have to suffer due to their policies. "
