Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MP Swati Maliwal recently took to social media to raise concerns about the escalating threats of rape and death she has been receiving. The feud stems from an alleged assault on Maliwal by Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s aide, Bibhav Kumar. Maliwal pointed fingers at her party members and YouTuber Dhruv Rathee for orchestrating a character assassination campaign against her, leading to an increase in abusive messages and threats. She criticized the AAP leadership for pressuring her to withdraw her complaint against Kumar, and expressed disappointment in Rathee for ignoring her attempts to share her side of the story.
Maliwal highlighted several crucial points that she felt were neglected in Rathee’s video, including the party’s U-turn on the incident, the medicolegal case report proving injuries from the assault, and the questionable circumstances surrounding the arrest of the accused. She emphasized the need for a fair investigation into the matter and called for action against the perpetrators of the threats she has been receiving.
In response to Rathee’s video, which aimed to clarify the Swati Maliwal assault case, Maliwal refuted certain claims and sought to illuminate the discrepancies in the narrative presented. She expressed concern over the manner in which she has been portrayed in the media and reiterated her commitment to standing up for women’s rights. Maliwal asserted that she will report the rape and death threats to the Delhi Police and urged them to take stringent measures against those responsible. As tensions escalate between the AAP and the BJP over the assault case, Maliwal remains resolute in her pursuit of justice and accountability in the face of adversity.
