Congress women wing on Thursday protested outside Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's residence, over former Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) minister Sandeep Kumar's sex tape scandal.

All India Mahila Congress chief Shobha Oza said Kejriwal tries to misguide people whenever his party people are exposed.

"Arvind Kejriwal tries to save his party people till they are exposed. Out of six ministers, three are accused of corruption or sex scandal," she said

Congress leader Sharmistha Mukherjee said, "I think Kejriwal is suffering from semantic dementia.We want to know what kind of action they (AAP) are talking. We demand proper investigation against all the ministers against whom there are allegations."

Former Delhi Commission for Women (DCW) chief Barkha Shukla Singh said Kejriwal sacked Sandeep Kumar to control the damage he made.

"He (Kejriwal) knew it for about 15 days. Now when the CD reached the media, to control the damage he sacked Sandeep Kumar. It is a corrupt government. And we demand that this government must be removed.

"It's all false, Kejriwal is a big liar himself. He is not going to do anything against Sandeep Kumar," she added.

A day after Sandeep Kumar was sacked over an alleged sex scandal, chief minister Kejriwal released a video message, saying he was hurt as Sandeep Kumar had betrayed the Aam Admi Party movement.

"On a personal level, I am very hurt. I can understand how every volunteer who has made sacrifices for this (Aam Aadmi Party) movement must be feeling. Some have left their jobs, some people's shops were shut because of this movement....Sandeep has betrayed the entire movement by engaging in such act," said Kejriwal.

Kumar was removed as Delhi's women and child welfare minister on Wednesday over a video purportedly showing the 35-year-old in a compromising position with two women.
