BJP questions AAP’s, DCW ‘silence’ over rape in govt hospital; fix policing: Maliwal

The death of a woman after alleged rape at a government hospital triggered a political row Tuesday with the BJP questioning the alleged silence of the AAP and DCW chief Swati Maliwal over the incident, and the latter asking the Centre to fix police functioning instead of “politicising the matter”.

The BJP has demanded Lieutenant Governor Vinai Kumar Saxena’s intervention in the matter.

“Why have Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal…and leaders of the AAP not yet opened their mouths or met the woman’s family?” Leader of Opposition in the Delhi Assembly Ramvir Singh Bidhuri said.

Delhi BJP vice president Barkha Singh accused Maliwal of working “only for media footage.”
