Four days after Water Minister Kapil Mishra played an audio recording of case of “snooping” allegedly involving BJP president Amit Shah in the Delhi Assembly, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal Tuesday wrote to the chairperson of the National Commission for Women (NCW), Lalitha Kumaramangalam, over the issue.

“Though you have been a BJP politician in the past, I am sure you will rise above your narrow political affiliations and find the full truth in the cases alluded to in your letter,” wrote Kejriwal. The commission had written to the CM on September 11, after taking suo-motu cognisance of reports of AAP MLA Amanatullah Khan being accused of molestation.

In reply, Kejriwal wrote that the Centre had waged a “proxy war” on his government and motivated cases were being foisted on AAP MLAs. He assured the NCW that he would take “exemplary action if credible evidence of wrongdoing is found”.
