Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal Saturday said that he won't hesitate to hold another agitation in the city if needed.
Defending his dharna (sit-in) in the heart of Delhi a couple of days back, Kejriwal, who had rebelliously called himself an "anarchist", said that his protest was for the safety of women.

"If I have to agitate for women's safety again, I won't hesitate," he said.
