New Delhi, July 2 (ANI): AAP Rajya Sabha MP Swati Maliwal wrote letter to Arvind Kehriwal. In an interview to ANI, speaking of the reason for writing the letter, she said that ever since I resigned from the post of the chairperson, the entire Delhi Government has become adamant about shutting down DCW. She further said that Delhi Government has not released even a Rupee as funds for DCW since 6 months. She went on to say that the 181 Helpline of the state which is considered the rape capital of the world has been shut down. She said, “In 8 years, Delhi Commission for Women listened to 1,70,000 cases. But ever since I resigned from the post of the chairperson, the entire Delhi Government has become adamant about shutting down DCW. Delhi Government has not released even a Rupee as funds for DCW since 6 months. We are also seeing that Delhi Government has slashed the DCW budget for this year by 30%. The post of DCW chairperson is still vacant and it has been 6 months now. Two other positions are vacant as well. Delhi Government has shut down the 181 Helpline. It is shameful that the 181 Helpline of the state which is considered the rape capital of the world has been shut down. I have written a letter to CM Arvind Kejriwal that how can they do this. How can women of a state whose Women Commission is not capable be protected? I believe that Governments do not want women to be capable. I think government has an issue with women who raise questions.”
