Commenting on this, MP from the Rajya Sabha, Swati Maliwal criticized Aam Aadmi Party supremo Arvind Kejriwal for describing his aide Bibhav Kumar as a key party leader.
With the controversy emerging around her father, on social media has vented her anger at being called for saying that former Delhi Chief Minister Kejriwal protects and promotes people who are indulging in dubious activities.
Without mincing words, Maliwal accused Kejriwal of crossing all boundaries of "shamelessness." "The goon who attacked me in your presence at your residence was sent to jail. While he was in jail, you hired the country's most expensive army of lawyers to save him," she wrote on X on Thursday.
Maliwal went on to criticize Kejriwal for allegedly using his position to protect people who follow him without question.
She said, " The former Chief Minister surrounds himself with sycophants. "If these statements of yours do not boost the spirits of goons like Bibhav, then what else will? Not every person who is a partner in all your wrongdoings is a great leader. You have a hobby of keeping people who say "Wah Sir, Wah Sir" around you, that is why the world has started looking blurry to you," she said.
In a sharp-tongued remark, Maliwal also questioned Kejriwal's constant references to Lord Ram, oft regarded as "Maryada Purushottam Ram," meaning righteousness and virtue.
"So much arrogance is not good. If someone cannot take a stand for his party's woman MP, how will he take a stand for the women of Delhi?" she asked.
While announcing the news of her win, Maliwal also shared a video clip of Kejriwal where he is criticizing the BJP of sending prominent AAP leaders to jail in false cases.
Earlier this month, the Supreme Court granted bail to Bibhav Kumar in the case of Swati Maliwal assault.
Swati Maliwal had claimed that Bibhav Kumar had assaulted her when she had gone to Arvind Kejriwal's residence on May 13 to meet him.
On a complaint lodged to this effect, the police also registered a case and caught Bibhav Kumar from Behrampur.
