New Delhi, Jan. 25  : Reacting to the Delhi Commission for Women (DCW) Chief Barkha Singh's meeting with Lieutenant Governor to seek action against Delhi Law Minster Somnath Bharti, Bharti on Saturday said that Singh was a member of Congress, and that the decision of the DCW was motivated and political.

"Women commission is political, and Barkha Singh is a member of Congress, that is why she is doing all this," said Bharti.

"This action is being taken with political intentions in mind and is motivated by the Congress," he said

Singh on Friday had criticized Delhi Law Minister Somnath Bharti's lawyer Rishikesh Kumar for his uncivil behavior following a heated argument between the two.

Shukla had refused to allow Bharti's lawyer to represent him in the proceedings against Bharti.

"You saw how Somnath Bharti's lawyer screamed at me. Such uncivil behavior isn't accepted," said Shukla after the spat.

"The way he (lawyer) behaved with me was very bad. We will be writing to Lieutenant Governor and will be asking for his time. We will forward all the complaints about him to the LG and we will also apprise him about what happened today," she added.

Meanwhile, Bharti was caught flying kites in a kite flying festival organized by the Tourism Ministry.

DCW had summoned Bharti over the controversial midnight raid led by him, in which four Ugandan women were allegedly mistreated.

Bharti had alleged that the Ugandan nationals were part of a drug and prostitution racket and asked the police to raid the place and arrest them. However, police refused to comply with his demand.

Earlier today the Supreme Court issued notice to Central Government and Delhi Government on Kejriwal's recent protest and has asked for reply in next six weeks.

The notice was issued during a hearing of Public Interest Litigation (PIL), which was filed by lawyer, M. L. Sharma, against Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) over their protest outside the Railway Ministry, which amounted to a breakdown of the constitutional machinery.

"The Supreme Court has issued a notice asking few questions as to whether the recent agitation was constitutional or unconstitutional. Whether the Delhi Chief Minister has done anything constitutional by heading this protest or has he broken the law. Whether he should be removed from the office or should he be punished" disclosed Sharma.

He added that there was no mention of Delhi Police in the notice.

"Supreme Court has not put forward any type of comment or commentary on the Delhi Police," added Sharma.

On Thursday, AAP leader Yogendra Yadav had ruled out any action against Somnath Bharti saying the Lieutenant Governor has ordered a judicial inquiry into the matter and the report would be out in a month.

He also said that Bharti would not be resigning as the Delhi Law Minister.

Yadav disclosed that the party investigations found no evidence to suggest that Bharti made racist comments or misbehaved with African women during the raid. (ANI)
