DCW Dispute: Members Counter Swati Maliwal's Allegations

After AAP MP Swati Maliwal accused Delhi's government of undermining the DCW, panel members Firdos Khan and Kiran Negi labeled her claims as 'malicious' and 'fictitious'. They urged Maliwal not to exploit the struggles of over 700 women for political gains, emphasizing that CM Kejriwal has always supported the commission.

After accusations from AAP MP Swati Maliwal alleging the systematic dismantling of the Delhi Commission for Women (DCW) by her own party's government, panel members Firdos Khan and Kiran Negi have dismissed her statements as 'malicious' and 'fictitious'.

In letters addressed to Maliwal, the DCW members urged her not to use the ongoing struggles of more than 700 unpaid women for personal political gains. Negi and Khan stressed that Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has consistently supported the commission in its battle against systemic attacks.

Maliwal, who resigned as chairperson upon her nomination to the Rajya Sabha, was accused by Khan and Negi of making misleading claims. They highlighted Kejriwal's efforts to empower the DCW and expressed disappointment over Maliwal's current stance.
