Aam Aadmi Party has lambasted Delhi Police after a girl from Manipur was raped in Munirka, saying the incident "raises very serious questions on the safety of women in the national capital and the competence of Delhi Police in tackling in the national capital."

The party-led government in Delhi has been in confrontation with Delhi Police and the Home Ministry, under whose ambit the law and order of the national capital comes.

In a press statement, the party condemned the incident and tried to highlight the failure of law enforcement agencies in ensuring safety to women. They also raised questions on Central government's commitment in providing safe enviornment for women in the national capital.

"This shameful incident of rape again brings back the basic question - that are the people and government of Delhi helpless in dealing with issues of women safety since the central government which enjoys control over Delhi Police continues to ignore such a serious issue ?," said the statement.

"The Aam Aadmi Party has consistently maintained that accountability of concerned police officials will have to be fixed so that such incidents are not repeated in future, but strangely the union home ministry and Delhi Police top brass have been resisting this demand of the AAP government purely on flimsy grounds," they added.

The party also targeted BJP, Congress for not according statehood to Delhi.

"Since the Parliament session is currently going on, the AAP would like to ask the Congress and BJP, both of whom have adequate numbers to get any bill passed in both Houses, why don't these parties get the bill for providing statehood to Delhi, which is pending in Parliament since a decade passed ?

"Both, the Congress and the BJP must answer the question that why are they silent on their election promise of providing full statehood to Delhi, which will make the Police accountable for its actions to the people."
