Following Kejriwal’s announcement, Delhi Water Minister Atishi echoed his sentiments and criticized Prime Minister Narendra Modi for implicating Kejriwal’s parents in the case.
“I want to ask PM Modi and BJP that 85 years old father of Arvind Kejriwal who cannot walk alone without support and the mother of Arvind Kejriwal who just returned home a few days ago after spending a long time in the hospital, do they think that 85-year-old patients raised their hands on Swati Maliwal? Does the BJP feel this?” said Atishi.
Kejriwal stressed the need for a fair investigation into the case, highlighting the existence of two conflicting versions of the incident.
“I want fair investigation, justice in Swati Maliwal assault case as incident has two versions,” expressed Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal to news agency PTI.
While acknowledging the matter’s sub-judice status and its potential impact on legal proceedings, Kejriwal emphasized the importance of impartiality in the investigation process.
“But I expect there will be a fair investigation. Justice should be served. There are two versions of the event. Police should investigate both versions fairly and justice should be done,” Kejriwal asserted.
