The family of Gajendra Singh, who hanged himself at New Delhi's Jantar Mantar as the Aam Aadmi Party held a rally there on Wednesday, on Friday rejected Chief Minister Aravind Kejriwal's apology, calling it "too little, too late". "It's a shame a chief minister could not save a dying man. He may not have been able to personally save him, but all he needed to do was to issue orders," Gajendra's father Bane Singh told to media in Nangal Jhamarwara village in Rajasthan's Dausa district. "We saw his colleagues on the stage aware of what was happening, but not willing to move to save my son. Is that how Kejriwal would react if his own children were on the three?" he said. Earlier on Friday, Kejriwal clarified his stand 48 hours after Gajendra's suicide, apologising for continuing with the rally despite the tragedy. "I made a mistake. I should have called off the rally," he said. "I have never had such an experience in my life. The tree was far from the stage, in the middle was the media. Due to the tree's branches, I couldn't see what was happening. I could have not announced from stage about what was happening on the tree as there might have been a stampede," the AAP leader said.
