“My religion is that of humanity. I’ve never believed in divisive politics,” Ms. Bedi told a rally in Seelampur constituency in New Delhi.
“My sisters, you will get security. It is my responsibility. If you’re facing any trouble, call the CM’s control room. I will not tell you that the police is not under me,” Ms. Bedi said taking a jibe at former Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit’s remarks post December 16, 2012, gang-rape.
