Delhi's Law Minister Somnath Bharti is under fire from all quarters for his alleged role by leading the mob that misbehaved with African women during the midnight raid at Khidki Extension. The four African women has filed complain,as allegedly harassed by Bharti and his supporters and identified the minister and four other persons from video footage and newspaper clippings.
They recorded their statements before a metropolitan magistrate Tuesday. In their complaint, they further said, "they were slapped, molested, threatened and subjected to racist slurs". The police had registered a case against unidentified people, would now frame charges against Bharti.
But the unrepentant Bharti had gone back to Khirki Extension, two days after his raid to bust sex and drug racket and threatened, “If there are good people, irrespective of their nationality… they will be welcomed. However, if they dance naked, sell drugs and run sex rackets, humse bura koi nahin hoga.”
Earlier, even the National Commission for Women demanded his resignation, with its chief Mamata Sharma saying that CM Arvind Kejriwal should ask Somnath Bharti to quit over the alleged misbehaviour with Ugandan women. Delhi Commission for Women Chairperson Barkha Singh is meeting Lieutenant Governor Najeeb Jung seeking a First Information Report against the minister.
All eyes are now on the Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal ,who has shamelessly defended his cabinet colleague Somnath Bharti, that has flared a controversy for playing a vigilante in order to bust “an active sex racket” in the Capital.Kejriwal said,expressing solidarity with him,“I don’t consider Somnath Bharti an embarrassment to the party,” .
But the wise men in the party had put tremendous pressure on Kejriwal to take action against Bharti from some senior AAP leaders, who were embarrassed by his recent crass comments, when a senior leader said,“Some steps will be taken for sure,” “There is no place for such uncouth and uncivilized language in the party.”
Prashant Bhushan, lawyer and AAP member, said, “Nobody will support his kind of language. This is not civilized language", while another leader added,"I have written to Kejriwal and told him the allegations against Bharti are serious and need to be taken very seriously,” .
But the dramatist culprit minister Bharti is non repenting, though frustrated, as on being asked whether he would resign on moral grounds over the midnight raid issue, he lobbed an angry question at the media asking, “How much money has Modiji paid you”.
Shamelessly even the AAP minister Somnath Bharti opted to blame BJP, while claiming that everything was wrong and alleged that "the entire saga was being orchestrated by the BJP".
INDIA HONEST questions the outcome of this hugely debated experiment of a new and unique assembly of arrogant, self praising group of persons led by Arvind Kejriwal in the aam admi party, that has crossed all limits of civility and rules of law in their test of actual governance.
Is this the Delhi people or now spreading to other metro residents hoped, imagined or expected from this high decibel AAP.
