Judicial procedure is essential to ensure that such incidents do not recur..."
“It is shocking that Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has not spoken a work about his party MP Swati Maliwal, who was misbehaved with and beaten up in CM’s residence. He has not acted or responded or spoken about it. Today, I am being told that in Uttar Pradesh, he was seen walking around with the accused.
