"Ask Chief Minister Why No Woman Minister In Delhi": BJP To Swati Maliwal. (File)
Appreciating DCW chairperson Swati Maliwal for issuing a notice to Delhi Police over the lack of woman SHO in the force, the Delhi BJP on Thursday said she should also question Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal why there was no women minister in his government.
The Delhi Commission for Women (DCW) had recently issued a notice to the city police, seeking reasons for no female station house officer (SHO) at any police station.
In a letter to Ms Maliwal, Delhi BJP vice president Virendra Sachdeva appreciated her concern and said she should also send a notice to Mr Kejriwal asking him the reason for not including any woman in his cabinet.
Every government in Delhi from 1993 till 2014, had women ministers. However, the Kejriwal government discontinued this tradition despite having several women MLAs in his party, Sachdeva said.
