BSP President Mayawati urged the Speaker of the Rajya Sabha to take cognizance of the alleged assault of former Delhi Commission for Women Chief Swati Maliwal by the personal assistant of Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal.
she said in a post on social media, "Swati Maliwal was assaulted at the residence of the chief minister and she is also a Rajya Sabha member but no action has yet been taken in the matter. I urge the Rajya Sabha Speaker to take note of the incident."
Mayawati said that no one should adopt double standards on matters relating to the safety and security of women, irrespective of the political party involved. She said, "Strict action should be taken in cases related to women's security and safety and there should be no double standards in the matter — whether the parties belong to the INDIA bloc or not. They should, in fact, learn a lesson from the BSP leadership."
