Delhi, 31 January (H.S) : An unusual incident occurred during the swearing-in ceremony of Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader and former DCW chief Swati Maliwal as a member of the Rajya Sabha on Wednesday. On the first day of the Parliament Session, she took oath not once but twice.
The incident unfolded when, after her initial oath, she exclaimed “Inquilab Zindabad.” In response, BJP leader Piyush Goyal raised an objection, leading to the cancellation of the oath. Subsequently, Maliwal had to take the oath once again to complete the procedure. This unexpected turn of events caused quite a stir among the attendees and highlighted the political tensions between parties.
Despite this hiccup, Maliwal remained determined and excited for her new role as a member of Parliament. She expressed her pride in her journey from an activist to becoming a Rajya Sabha MP and vowed to continue raising important issues such as women’s safety and participation in the workforce. The incident took place on the first day of the Parliament’s Budget Session, which is also the last session before the upcoming Lok Sabha elections.
President Droupadi Murmu inaugurated the session, and the Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman is set to present the interim budget on Thursday.
