“Many congratulations @AtishiAAP Ji. Wish you would take effectively on dictatorial forces and work towards a developed and dynamic Dilli,” Singhvi, a Rajya Sabha MP of the Congress, said in a post on X. Singhvi tagged a September 14 post by Atishi in which she had said, “Dr. Singhvi: We will always be indebted to you for leading this legal fight against a dictatorial govt, that was out to crush.”
