Swati Maliwal News: ‘BJP and PM Modi are scared of Kejriwal,’ says Atishi

Swati Maliwal News Highlights: On Sunday, Delhi chief minister and AAP national convenor Arvind Kejriwal, along with other party leaders, called a march towards the BJP headquarters in Delhi to protest the arrest of his personal assistant (PA), Bibhav Kumar, in the Swati Maliwal alleged assault case. During the AAP's protest, Delhi minister and AAP leader Atishi said, “BJP and PM Modi are frightened of Arvind Kejriwal. Arvind Kejriwal asked him to arrest all our leaders, but he did not. A day after the altercation, the party acknowledged that Kumar “misbehaved” with Maliwal, but took a U-turn on Friday, and called the episode a “conspiracy” hatched by the BJP and the ex-Delhi Commission for Women (DCW) chief to “target” Arvind Kejriwal. Meanwhile, Maliwal’s medical report – her medical checkup was conducted on Thursday night at AIIMS – shows injuries to her left leg and right cheek.

Before proceeding with the march, Kejriwal said that they would sit outside the BJP headquarters for about half an hour and wait to see if ‘they will arrest all the AAP leaders.’...Read More

However, while AAP leaders could protest near Rouse Avenue, they could not proceed towards the BJP headquarters.

During the AAP's protest, Delhi minister and AAP leader Atishi said, “BJP and PM Modi are frightened of Arvind Kejriwal. That is why they are arresting our leaders one by one. Arvind Kejriwal asked him to arrest all our leaders, but he did not. PM Modi was defeated and could not do anything in this half hour.”

Kumar, who was arrested by Delhi Police from the CM’s residence on Saturday, allegedly beat up Maliwal, an AAP Rajya Sabha member, at Kejriwal’s home on May 13. A day after the altercation, the party acknowledged that Kumar “misbehaved” with Maliwal, but took a U-turn on Friday, and called the episode a “conspiracy” hatched by the BJP and the ex-Delhi Commission for Women (DCW) chief to “target” Arvind Kejriwal. It has released two CCTV footages to “corroborate” its claims.

The BJP has dismissed the AAP’s charge.

Meanwhile, Maliwal’s medical report – her medical checkup was conducted on Thursday night at AIIMS – shows injuries to her left leg and right cheek.

According to the medico-legal case (MLC) report, there is a bruise of 3x2 centimetre over her “proximal left leg dorsal aspect” and another 2x2 centimetre over her “right cheek below her right eye.”
