DCW chief Swati Maliwal: FIR should be registered against Haryana CM

Chairperson of Delhi Commission for Women Swati Maliwal on Saturday rebuked Haryana CM Manohar Lal Khattar for his controversial remark on Kashmiri girls. She also criticised Rajya Sabha MP Vijay Goel for putting hoardings of Kashmiri girls inside his residence.

New Delhi: Delhi Commission for Women (DCW) Chairperson Swati Maliwal demanded the filing of an FIR against Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar and BJP’s Rajya Sabha MP Vijay Goel, for objectionable remarks on Kashmiri girls on Saturday.

Talking to ETV Bharat, Swati Maliwal said: "This reflects the mentality of the politician as he has made such objectionable comments earlier also."

The DCW Chief further said that on one hand, PM Modi is promoting 'Beti Bachao Beti Padhao' and on the other hand, the Haryana CM is speaking against the modesty of Kashmiri women.

She also criticised Rajya Sabha MP Vijay Goel for reportedly putting hoardings of Kashmiri women inside his residence and asked whether the MP would ever put up photos of the women from his own family.

Swati Maliwal informed that she has sent a notice to Delhi Police Crime Branch seeking investigation into the matter and action against Khattar and has asked the police to submit a report by August 14.
