The Delhi BJP Mahila Morcha on Wednesday held a demonstration outside the office of the Delhi Commission for Women (DCW) even as a formal police complaint was registered against the commission’s chief Swati Maliwal.
Delhi BJP Mahila Morcha members, led by its president Kamaljeet Sehrawat, said they wanted to meet Ms. Maliwal. However, they were stopped by the police a few yards from the entrance of the commission, which prompted the demonstration.
“Ms. Maliwal has not only broken laws in making around 100 male appointments from amongst AAP cadre at the DCW but has hurt the very objective that the DCW was formed for. Today women coming there feel very uncomfortable discussing their problems with male counsellors,” Ms. Sehrawat said.
Kejriwal a political fugitive: Upadhyay
Meanwhile, Delhi BJP president Satish Upadhyay and general secretary MP Ramesh Bidhuri accused Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal of being a “political fugitive” at a press conference.
“The people of Delhi and the country have understood that he is no more than a political fugitive who does not take responsibility for anything and only indulges in low-grade politics of accusing others,” the BJP leaders said on Wednesday.
Adding that the Chief Minister needed to understand that “his game of political and media trial” when it came to issues of corruption and other irregularities “cannot continue any more”, the BJP president said that he needed to walk the talk by not being “afraid” of inquires against him.
“Mr. Kejriwal repeatedly raises accusations on the Prime Minister, but if he really wants to know why his name has been included by the ACB in the FIR then I would like to advise him to go to a lawyer practising in the Tis Hazari Court near his residence and find out that the police always includes the name of the persons in the FIR given by the complainant,” Mr. Upadhyay said, adding that the CM’s inclusion as a suspect did not translate to evidence of guilt.
