Aam Aadmi Party's national convenor Arvind Kejriwal continued to maintain his silence on Thursday on the issue around the assault on Rajya Sabha MP Swati Maliwal by his aide.Addressing a press conference with Samajwadi Party's Akhilesh Yadav, Kejriwal seemingly evaded journalists' questions on the Maliwal incident. "There are other important topics as well," Yadav said, sitting next to Kejriwal.However, AAP's Sanjay Singh said that politics should not be done over the Maliwal incident."The entire country was in pain after seeing what happened in Manipur but PM Modi was silent on the issue. Prajwal Revanna raped thousands of women but PM Modi was asking for votes for Prajwal Revanna. When our wrestlers were protesting at Jantar Mantar, Swati Maliwal who was DCW chief was beaten up by Police...PM Modi remained silent on these issues. AAP is our family and has given a clear statement. BJP and PM Modi should answer all these issues that I mentioned," Singh said.— ANI (@ANI) During Kejriwal's roadshow in the Chandni Chowk constituency, some people displayed posters and raised slogans over the Delhi CM's personal assistant Bibhav Kumar allegedly misbehaving with AAP leader Maliwal.The AAP has acknowledged the incident involving Bibhav Kumar and Maliwal.Maliwal on Monday went to the Civil Lines police station and alleged that a member of the Delhi chief minister's personal staff "assaulted" her at the chief minister's official residence, police officials had said. She is yet to file a formal complaint in the matter.On Tuesday, Sanjay Singh addressed a press conference and said the incident with Maliwal was a "highly condemnable" one.Police had also visited her residence on Minto Road on Tuesday.
