Delhi Congress has accused Arvind Kejriwal and Kumar Vishwas of being “apathetic and insensitive” as a row erupted over an AAP volunteer claiming that “false rumours” of Vishwas having an illicit relationship with her were ruining her reputation, and alleged that the Delhi Chief Minister was shielding party leaders facing serious charges. Speaking on the issue, Delhi Congress chief spokesperson Sharmistha Mukherjee said, “We strongly condemn it and want that the matter should be probed properly as the allegations are serious.”
Mukherjee also accused Kejriwal of shielding AAP leaders who are facing serious charges. Vishwas and Delhi law Minister Jitender Singh Tomar, who has been accused of holding ‘fake’ degrees, are being shielded by Kejriwal, she alleged. Vishwas, a member of AAP’s Political Affairs Committee, has been asked to appear before the DCW on Tuesday.
Mukherjee said AAP had been talking about moral high ground, but time and again serious charges are being levelled against its senior leaders and MlAs. “We have also heard that the victim had also written to Kejriwal informing him about the incident, which should have been probed by their internal lokpal but this issue was not taken up. So she had to go to women commission,” she said.
