Nirmala Sitharaman slams Kejriwal’s ‘silence’ on assault against Swati Maliwa


Union Minister Nirmala Sithraman on Friday targeted the Delhi Chief Minister for remaining silent on Aam Admi Party MP Swati Maliwal’s allegation that she was assaulted by his aide.
“The fact that Swati Maliwal did not register a complaint in Police for three to four days (after the incident) means that there was pressure on her from high- level. There is reason to believe that there was enough pressure on her and probably continues on her,” Nirmala Sitharaman said addressing a press conference at BJP headquarters.
She said that since May 13 Kejriwal had not spoken about the attack on his party MP Maliwal.
“Since May 13, the Delhi Chief Minister has not spoken a word on the assault against their party MP Swati Maliwal. It is unbelievable and unacceptable. A CM who is often seeking advocating for the rights of the women has not spoken a single word,” Nirmala Sitharaman said.
