NEW DELHI: Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal on Tuesday defended his party colleague Kumar Vishwas in a controversy involving a woman.Attacking the media, Kejriwal said, " Why are you (media) targeting our children and wives?" "We have decided to keep quiet now. Questions about our government will be answered, won't answer on this," he said.Continuing his diatribe against the media, the Delhi CM said, "From the past 2-3 months some media houses are making efforts to defame AAP party and the government.""Your fight is with us, do not drag our families, children and wives into this," he said.The Delhi CM said that there was news that was being aired that Kumar Vishwas had an illicit affair with someone. "Vishwas is denying it, the girl herself is denying it," Kejriwal said.Kejriwal said Kumar Vishwas's family was suffering as a result of this controversy. "His whole family is suffering from depression, his children are being asked in school about the alleged 'affair'".Saying that AAP now had no other choice, Kejriwal said the party was going to keep away from some media houses.Earlier on Tuesday, Delhi BJP workers held a protest outside Arvind Kejriwal's residence demanding action against AAP leader Kumar Vishwas in the wake of a complaint by a party volunteer accusing him of not rebutting "rumours" about an illicit liaison with her.Manish Sisodia, Arvind Kejriwal and Kumar Vishwas (R) at a rally.

Why is the police not acting against those who are abusing her on social media," Vishwas said.Asked about the woman's claim that her husband had left her because of the rumours about her relationship with him, Vishwas said, "What sort of husband he is who needs a character certificate for his wife from another person."
