Swati Maliwal criticizes Atishi, alleging her family opposed the execution of Afzal Guru. Rajya Sabha MP Swati Maliwal, currently at odds with the Aam Aadmi Party, expressed disapproval of the selection of Atishi as Delhi's Chief Minister.
Maliwal stated that her parents had advocated against the execution of terrorist Afzal Guru. Rajya Sabha Member Swati Maliwal criticized the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) for appointing Atishi as the new Chief Minister of Delhi, citing that her family had actively opposed the hanging of convicted terrorist Afzal Guru.
This statement came in response to the swift decision-making process on Tuesday, where AAP's Delhi MLAs gathered in the morning to elect Atishi as their legislative leader. The convening of the meeting was prompted by the recent announcement made by Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal regarding his decision to step down from his position.
Kejriwal, who was recently granted bail in the Delhi liquor policy case, has stated his intention to refrain from resuming his duties as Chief Minister until re-elected. In response to the Aam Aadmi Party's selection of Atishi as the next Delhi Chief Minister, Swati Maliwal criticized the party. "Today marks a somber day for Delhi," expressed Maliwal on social media. She highlighted that Atishi's parents were among the activists and professors who had endorsed a mercy plea for convicted terrorist Afzal Guru in 2013.
"A candidate, whose relatives campaigned earnestly to prevent the execution of terrorist Afzal Guru, is being appointed as the Chief Minister of Delhi." Her parents submitted appeals for clemency to the esteemed President in an effort to obtain relief for convicted terrorist Afzal Guru. As per their statements, Afzal Guru was unjustly implicated in a political plot, as stated by Maliwal, who has had a strained relationship with the Aam Aadmi Party.
