Over 100 people Wednesday staged a protest outside the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) office here over party leader Kumar Vishwas's comments on nurses.

The protestors alleged the remarks, first made by Vishwas in 2008 during a speech in Ranchi in Jharkhand and uploaded on a social networking site recently, were laced with "sexist undertones".

Some nurses were among those protesting Vishwas's remarks outside the AAP's Hunuman Road office in central Delhi.

They were demanding that Vishwas should withdraw his statement and apologise to the entire nursing community.

United Nurses Association has issued a legal notice to Vishwas asking him for a formal apology.

 

Earlier, two Youth Congress workers barged into the AAP party office in Kochi and broke phones, chairs and a glass cabin. They also threw black oil and rotten eggs, police said.
