How Congress reacted?
On an attack on Delhi CM Rekha Gupta during Jan Sunvai at CM Residence, Delhi Congress chief Devender Yadav said, “This is very unfortunate. CM leads the entire Delhi, and I think that the more such incidents are condemned, the less it is. But this incident also exposes women’s safety. If the CM of Delhi is not safe, how can a common man or common woman be safe?”
Congress MP Pramod Tiwari said, “This is very sad; there is no place for violence in politics… But the BJP is the mother of violence… People are angry with the BJP. Whoever did this should be investigated. But, as the BJP used to say, when Arvind Kejriwal was attacked, they would claim that he himself had done it. So now you have to see for yourself whether this was an accident or they got it done. But I want to make one thing clear: if this attack has happened, then I definitely condemn it and want action to be taken against the culprit.”
How the incident unfolded?
Giving an account about the incident, Delhi BJP president Virendraa Sachdeva said, “During Jan Sunvai this morning, CM was speaking with the public like she always does. A man approached her, presented some paper and suddenly held her hand while trying to pull her towards him. During this, there was a little jostling…People nabbed him. Who is he, and all other details are being investigated by the Police…The CM is stable. Doctors have examined her. I have met her, she is a strong woman…It seems that she suffered a light blow to her head…The slap or stone-throwing stories are fabricated…Such incidents in politics are condemnable…Jan Sunvai will continue. CM is resting right now but she has said that she will not cancel her programs.”
