AAP calls for Swati Maliwal's resignation following her criticism of Atishi's appointment.

Maliwal's comments included controversial claims about Atishi's family and national security.

Atishi, appointed as Delhi CM, was supported unanimously by AAP legislators despite the criticism.

In a sharp response to Swati Maliwal's recent remarks, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has demanded her resignation from the Rajya Sabha. Maliwal, who criticized Atishi's appointment as the new Delhi Chief Minister, described Atishi as a "dummy CM" and linked the issue to national security concerns.

Senior AAP leader Dilip Pandey accused Maliwal of taking her position in the Rajya Sabha while seemingly following directives from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). Pandey's statement underscored the contention that Maliwal should resign if she feels so strongly against Atishi's appointment and, if her allegiance lies with the BJP, pursue a political career there.

Maliwal's criticism included severe allegations against Atishi's family, claiming that they had attempted to prevent the execution of terrorist Afzal Guru. She alleged that Atishi’s parents had petitioned the President to save Guru, calling it a "sad day for Delhi" that Atishi was now appointed as Chief Minister.

In contrast, Atishi defended her appointment, stating that it reflects the AAP's commitment to empowering first-time politicians with significant responsibilities. She emphasized that the decision was made by the party’s legislators, with Arvind Kejriwal proposing her as his successor in a meeting where all MLAs unanimously supported her appointment.

The controversy highlights the deepening political rivalry and the intense scrutiny faced by new leaders in their roles. The AAP's strong reaction to Maliwal's statements illustrates the high stakes involved in Delhi's political landscape.
