Aslı Baykal, the daughter of Deniz Baykal, commented on the detention order against Istanbul Metropolitan Mayor Ekrem İmamoğlu, saying, "These investigations are not detrimental to the country, but rather very beneficial and represent significant steps for clean politics. It is our duty to trust Turkish justice and wait for the results of the investigations."

As part of the investigation against the Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality, an operation was carried out against Ekrem İmamoğlu and his team. In the early hours of the morning, approximately 20 police vehicles raided İmamoğlu's residence. While the police teams were searching the residence, İmamoğlu was taken into custody. Later, the chief prosecutor's office announced that İmamoğlu was detained on charges of "being the leader of a criminal organization," "being a member of a criminal organization," "bribery," "qualified fraud," "illegally obtaining personal data," and "interfering with a tender."
Following this detention, which turned the agenda of Turkey upside down, Aslı Baykal, the daughter of former Republican People's Party (CHP) leader Deniz Baykal, used striking expressions in her post on 'X'.
"THIS INVESTIGATION IS VERY BENEFICIAL FOR THE COUNTRY"
Aslı Baykal claimed that the operation was delayed to avoid affecting the diploma investigation against İmamoğlu, stating, "These investigations are not harmful to the country but very beneficial and are significant steps for clean politics. Our duty is to trust Turkish justice and wait for the results of the investigations."
"CHP SHOULD HOLD A SPOTLESS CONGRESS"
At the end of her post, Baykal called for a congress for the CHP, saying, "CHP should continue on its path with a cadre truly loyal to Atatürk."
Aslı Baykal's post is as follows:
"Today's detentions seem like consecutive blows, but they were probably delayed to avoid affecting the diploma investigation.
Considering İmamoğlu's influence over the CHP, it is impossible not to wonder where this influence comes from and what feeds it.
The reason for this unnecessary, hasty, one-person pre-selection was to know that these detentions would happen and to confront the citizens with justice.
These investigations are not harmful to the country but very beneficial and are significant steps for clean politics.
Our duty is to trust Turkish justice and wait for the results of the investigations.
CHP should set a beautiful calendar and hold a spotless congress, continuing on its path with a cadre truly loyal to Atatürk."
