Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Tuesday said that politics should be kept away from issues concerning the safety of women and girls. Kejriwal made the remarks at a day-long conclave on 'Women Safety and Empowerment' organised by the Secretary's Office of Global Women's Issues at the US State Department and NGO Shakti Vahini in collaboration with Delhi Commission for Women (DCW).
"Got a chance to speak at a DCW programme. I believe that there should be no politics on the issues concerning women safety," Kejriwal tweeted.
"People indulging in politics should not forget that they too have women family members and if the situation worsened they too will be affected," the Aam Aadmi Party
leader said.
Kejriwal also praised DCW's works towards women empowerment and their safety in the city. Women and Child Development Ministers of Bihar and Chhattisgarh along with senior representatives from US Government also participated in the conclave. Ministers and representatives from 12 states participated in the conclave.
