AAP Rajya Sabha MP and former Delhi Commission For Women (DCW) Chief Swati Maliwal wrote to Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Tuesday pointing out the “systematic dismantling” of the state women’s rights body since her resignation in January.

Maliwal in a letter to CM Kejriwal claimed that the government has “destroyed” the systems she built since 2015 and mentioned the challenges faced by the DCW currently including the “arbitrary budget cuts for the commission”.

“I am writing this letter to bring attention to how the Delhi government has been systematically dismantling the DCW (Delhi Commission for Women) since my resignation from the position of chairperson in January 2024. It is deeply regrettable that the systems that I had painstakingly built since 2015, are being destroyed by the government,” Maliwal stated in her letter to Kejriwal.
