Activists of the Delhi BJP’s women wing staged a protest near Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s residence in the Civil Lines area on Friday over the alleged gang rape of a woman at GB Pant Hospital in the national capital.
The 40-year-old woman, who worked at the Delhi government-run hospital, was allegedly sexually assaulted while on duty and died during treatment on May 7.
Addressing the protesters, Bidhuri said that the incident has exposed the anti-Dalit face of the Kejriwal government. The woman was brutally assaulted and hacked to death just like Nirbhaya.
The surprising thing is that till date Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has not even spoken a word of sympathy in this regard. He neither has shown any sympathy by visiting to the family nor sent any of his Ministers or MLAs, to meet the family, nor has he announced any financial help to the family.
No immediate reaction was available from the AAP over the BJP’s protest and allegations against its leaders.
The Delhi BJP’s Mahila Morcha vice-president Priya Bhardwaj accused the Kejriwal dispensation of being “indifferent and insensitive” over the matter and demanded the government provide compensation of Rs 1 crore and a job to the kin of the victim.
On Thursday, Delhi BJP president Virendra Sachdeva met the family of the victim and provided financial assistance of Rs 2 lakh.
