The case of alleged assault with Aam Aadmi Party MP Swati Maliwal at the CM residence is continuously gaining momentum. Swati Maliwal is currently silent in this matter and seems to be away from political activity. At the same time, CM Arvind Kejriwal has also maintained silence on the entire incident. At the same time, the reactions of leaders of allies and opposition parties on this matter are continuously coming to the fore.
Priyanka Gandhi, who reached Rae Bareli to campaign for the party, said, if there are any atrocities against any woman anywhere, then we stand with that woman. I always stand with women – no matter which party they belong to. Secondly, AAP itself will discuss this. Its leaders themselves will decide what decision should be taken in this matter.
Before Priyanka Gandhi, Alka Lamba, the national president of her party’s Mahila Congress unit, expressed a different opinion. Lamba said, ‘Swati Maliwal is a strong woman, who will come forward and take the legal route on this issue. In this matter, after the press conference of AAP leader Sanjay Singh, it has been confirmed that some unpleasant incident has happened with Swati Maliwal ji at the CM residence. Our party stands strongly with him in this matter.
CM Arvind Kejriwal remained silent on the question
Earlier, the issue of Swati Maliwal also came up in the press conference of Akhilesh Yadav and Arvind Kejriwal in Lucknow this morning. The media tried to ask questions to Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal on the alleged attack on Swati Maliwal. However, the AAP supremo refused to answer any questions. When this issue was raised during the press conference, Akhilesh Yadav avoided the question and said, ‘There are other issues which are more important than this.’ After this, the responsibility of defending his party was left to AAP Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh.
BJP demands the resignation of CM Kejriwal.
BJP accused AAP of failing to take action against Arvind Kejriwal’s PA Bibhav Kumar, who was allegedly behind the attack on Maliwal. The party also shared a picture of Bibhav with Arvind Kejriwal at Lucknow airport. Along with this, the question was raised that despite the assurance of MP Sanjay Singh, why no action has been taken against Vibhav Kumar till now? BJP spokesperson Gaurav Bhatia, in a press conference on Thursday, questioned Kejriwal’s silence on this issue and demanded his resignation.
Let us tell you that Swati Maliwal, who was the chairperson of the Delhi Women’s Commission, is now a Rajya Sabha MP from Aam Aadmi Party. He has alleged that his PA Vibhav Kumar had assaulted him at the residence of CM Arvind Kejriwal. In this alleged incident, he had called the police on number 112. Later she also reached the police station. However, she returned from there without complaining. Since then, he has been maintaining mysterious silence and the BJP is taking advantage of this and is continuously trying to corner CM Kejriwal.
