Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma has sharply criticised Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal over the alleged attack on AAP Rajya Sabha MP Swati Maliwal. He questioned why Kejriwal had not acted against his aide, Bibhav Kumar, who was listed in a FIR filed by the Delhi Police on Thursday evening.

"There should be no politics in this matter," said CM Sarma. "Although we are not ideologically aligned with Swati Maliwal, it is our duty to speak up against crimes against women. Maliwal has filed a complaint with the Delhi Police, stating that what happened to her is very wrong. The question is, why is Arvind Kejriwal silent? Where was he during the incident? Why is he still with Bibhav Kumar and not taking action against him?"
