AAP Rajya Sabha MP Swati Maliwal has intensified her criticism of Delhi minister Atishi, who was selected by outgoing CM Arvind Kejriwal as his successor. Maliwal alleges that Atishi's parents had connections with Syed Abdul Rahman Geelani,

AAP Rajya Sabha MP Swati Maliwal has accused Delhi's Chief Minister-designate Atishi's parents of having close ties with SAR Geelani, who was acquitted in the 2001 Parliament attack case. Maliwal claims they supported Afzal Guru through mercy petitions.

AAP leader Dilip Pandey attacked Rajya Sabha MP Swati Maliwal on Tuesday for her "dummy CM" remarks on AAP leader Atishi, who is set to succeed as the Delhi CM.

Swati Maliwal's attack against Atishi came after the AAP leader pipped Kailash Gahlot to become the next Delhi CM, two days after Arvind Kejriwal said he would step down from the top post.
