New Delhi: Rajya Sabha member Swati Maliwal on Thursday accused AAP leaders of “victim-shaming” her over the allegation that Arvind Kejriwal’s personal assistant, Bibhav Kumar, thrashed her inside the former’s house. Amid a massive political row triggered by her explosive charge, the former Delhi Commission for Women (DCW) chief expressed readiness to undergo the polygraph test (also called the lie-detector test).
Swati Maliwal accused Bibhav Kumar of carrying out her proverbial “cheer haran (disrobing)” inside the Delhi chief minister’s drawing room. She accused AAP leaders of attempting “character assassination.”
“I am feeling very betrayed right now, by everyone, whatever I am feeling right now, I just wish that God forbid anyone ever feels like this. I have lost everything. With people I worked with, I sat with them…. What they have not done to scare me, ‘Cheer Haran mera uss ghar mein hua aur Charitra Haran mera roz chalaya jaa raha hai’ (my character assassination is being done every day). I am unable to understand how this happened and why this happened. How can one be treated so badly? I feel very betrayed, I feel very let down,” Swati Maliwal told ANI.
Amid AAP’s efforts to refute her allegations, Swati Maliwal claimed the party has been trying to prove that she levelled false allegations against Bibhav Kumar.
“When did I say in the FIR that my clothes were torn, when did I say in the FIR that my head was wounded… I wrote exactly what happened to me, word to word. I did not write anything more or beyond. And if I am wrong then I am ready to undergo a polygraph test, and I want the police to do it. Everything will be clear then,” she said.
Swati Maliwal said she is willing to do anything to prove that she is speaking the truth.
Reacting to AAP leader Atishi’s allegation that the MP filed the FIR at the behest of the BJP due to an old case against her, Swati Maliwal claimed there was no merit in the case.
