January 24, 2014 09:10

The Aam Aadmi Party has backed its Law Minister Somnath Bharti, saying there was no evidence to suggest that he made racist comments or misbehaved with African women during a controversial midnight raid that he led at a south Delhi locality last week. The party, while ruling out his resignation, said that Mr Bharti should in fact be "lauded for his efforts to address people's grievances." The Law Minister has been asked to depose before the Delhi Women's Commission today.
