Vile. Turns out Ms Swati Maliwal was slapped on the face multiple times and viciously assaulted on her chest and lower body, and all this while Kejriwal was inside the home, a few feet away.
But the entire Opposition is silent. Because apparently this is AAP’s internal matter. pic.twitter.com/miBaXEXEd2

Following the complaint, the AAP MP, took to social media to comment on the developments for the first time since she made the allegations. Maliwal said she hopes “appropriate action will be taken”.
“What happened to me was very bad. I have given my statement to the police on the incident that happened to me. I hope that appropriate action will be taken,” she said.
“The last few days have been very difficult for me. I thank those who prayed for me. Those who tried to do character assassination, said that she was doing it on the instructions of the other party, may God keep them happy too,” Maliwal further wrote on X.
The case of violence against Swati Maliwal is overshadowing the entire election campaign of Arvind Kejriwal. Wherever Arvind Kejriwal is going, he is being asked questions on the assault on Rajya Sabha MP Swati Maliwal at the Chief Minister’s residence. Due to this, Arvind Kejriwal’s political campaign is being left behind, while the Swati Maliwal controversy is emerging with greater speed. Instead of taking any action against Bibhav Kumar, Kejriwal’s roaming around with him is also causing new problems for the Aam Aadmi Party.
On Thursday, when Arvind Kejriwal was trying to give a big political message by holding a press conference with SP leader Akhilesh Yadav in Lucknow, the entire press conference was overshadowed by the Swati Maliwal controversy. Aam Aadmi Party leader was asked questions on not taking any action till now on Swati Maliwal controversy. Arvind Kejriwal did not give any answer on this subject. However, by calling Aam Aadmi Party a family, Sanjay Singh once again tried to show that the Swati Maliwal controversy is an internal matter of his party and its solution will be found. But the way the Swati Maliwal controversy overshadowed the entire press conference, Kejriwal lost the message he wanted to convey.
For now, Arvind Kejriwal should distance himself from taking vibhav Kumar along. Shazia Ilmi said that this is not the first case of such violence around Arvind Kejriwal. Before this, Chief Secretary Anshu Prakash was also beaten up in the presence of Arvind Kejriwal, but Kejriwal himself did not take any action against the accused. He said that this makes it clear what is the working culture of Arvind Kejriwal.
