Attacking the Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal for siding with his aide Bibhav Kumar in the alleged assault of AAP leader and Rajya Sabha MP Swati Maliwal, Union Minister Smriti Irani on Thursday asked how Kejriwal can speak on women’s security in the country when his party’s women members are not safe in his residence. She also held a roadshow in support of the BJP candidate Praveen Khandelwal from Chandni Chowk seat on the last day of election campaigning in Delhi, which will vote on Saturday.
Amid speculations that the Delhi Police will visit the Chief Minister’s official residence, she said that no one should hamper the probe claiming it is part of the investigation to ascertain who were present at the residence and the role they played when the incident occurred. “Who all were present at Kejriwal’s residence from his family and office, the role they played and what they witnessed when Maliwal was being beaten up are part of the investigation. I am a spokesperson of the BJP, not the police. I will only request that no one should hamper the investigation,” said Irani.
