New Delhi: Aam Aadmi Party chief Arvind Kejriwal on Monday demanded that those involved in assaulting the Gargi College girls should be given strict punishment and demanded that it should be ensured that students in colleges are safe.
In a tweet in Hindi, he called the incident where the students of the women college were allegedly manhandled, molested and sexually assaulted on February 6, “sad and disappointing.”
“The misbehaviour with our daughters at Gargi College is very sad and disappointing. This cannot be tolerated at all. The culprits should be punished strictly. And it should be ensured that the children studying in our colleges are safe,” he tweeted.
गार्गी कॉलेज में हमारी बेटियों के साथ बद्सलूकी बेहद दुखद और निराशाजनक है। इसे क़तई बर्दाश्त नहीं किया जा सकता। दोषियों को पकड़ कर सख्त से सख्त सजा मिलनी चाहिए। और ये सुनिश्चित हो कि हमारे कॉलेजों में पढ़ने वाले बच्चे सुरक्षित हों।
