Congress women wing activists seek Kejriwal's resignation

New Delhi: Scores of activists of the women wing of the Congress on Monday staged a protest near the residence of Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, demanding his resignation over allegations levelled against him by sacked minister Kapil Mishra.

Raising slogans against the AAP government and Kejriwal, the protesters marched towards the chief minister's residence when they were stopped by the police.

"Kejriwal who became the Delhi CM by making the promise of fighting corruption has no moral right to continue and should resign immediately in the wake of allegations by his once favourite cabinet colleague," said acting president of the Delhi Mahila Congress Sai Anamika.

Kejriwal should follow the examples of politicians who resigned in the wake of allegations levelled against them, she said.

Delhi Mahila Congress in-charge Netta D'Souza and other leaders took part in the protest.
