Ink Attack On Arvind Kejriwal: AAP Slams Delhi Police For Lapses In Security

New Delhi: The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) today attacked the Delhi Police for lapses in security over the ink attack on Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, a day after a sessions court pulled up the law and order agency over the issue.

The party demanded that the Union Ministry of Home Affairs, which controls the Delhi Police, should make its stand clear on its assessment of the Delhi Police in the wake of stinging court remarks.

"It is shameful that following the ink-attack on the Chief Minister, the Delhi Police instead of introspecting on its failure, chose to adopt a defiant stand and tried to hide its failure and incompetence.

"The Aam Aadmi Party challenges the Delhi Police chief, BS Bassi, who does not miss an opportunity to appear before TV cameras to give political statements in violation of service rules against a democratically elected government, should now react to the court's observations about the shameful police role in the ink attack incident," AAP leader Ashutosh said.

Quoting the court order, he added that "If the Chief Minister of Delhi is not safe, one may wonder as to what will be the fate of citizens of Delhi."

The party demanded that MHA should take immediate corrective steps to "restore the credibility of Delhi Police in the eyes of residents of the national capital", which has been severely dented by the "unprofessional and biased conduct of the top police brass".
