Kejriwal likens Jung to Hitler over DCW appointment

New Delhi: Miffed over the appointment of Dilraj Kaur as the member secretary of DCW, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Wednesday hit out at Lt Governor Najeeb Jung, likening him to "Hitler".

"LG is acting like Hitler, following in footsteps of his masters Mr Modi n Amit Shah...Najeeb Jung has sold his soul to the Prime Minister," Kejriwal said in a series of tweets.

The appointment of member secretary to the DCW (Delhi Commission for Women) recently emerged as yet another flashpoint between Kejriwal and Jung.

Kejriwal had termed as "unconstitutional" the earlier appointment of Alka Diwan to the same post, saying Jung had overlooked the name suggested by the government.

DCW chief Swati Maliwal had alleged that the appointment of Diwan led to the stalling of the functioning of the Commission and was subverting its autonomy.
