Assembly panel to probe 'graft' by LG
NEW DELHI: June 10, 2016, DHNS
The AAP-dominated Delhi Assembly on Thursday set up a nine-member committee to look into allegations of wrongdoings by Lieutenant Governor Najeeb Jung while “favouring” a ration shop owner who faced action for corruption.
The step aggravates friction between the Aam Aadmi Party government and the Raj Niwas, both locked in a slugfest earlier in the week over posting of officials in the city and the ordering of a probe by LG-controlled Anti-Corruption Branch into Arvind Kejriwal government’s app-based premium bus scheme.
The development in the Assembly coincided with the thrashing of AAP councillor Rakesh Kumar at a joint meeting of three corporations at Ramlila Maidan.
This was the first day of the special Assembly session which was called to discuss `insanitary conditions', for which Delhi government is blaming the BJP-run municipal corporations. But it soon turned into an LG-bashing exercise.
The Assembly’s Special Inquiry Committee against Jung was formed at the end of a discussion in which AAP legislators used unparliamentary language against the LG, the constitutional head of the Union Territory.
The discussion on the ration shop was initiated by Burari legislator Anil Jha, in whose constituency the controversial ration shop, Janata Provision Store, is situated.
The committee was constituted after a resolution was moved to probe alleged irregularity in restoration of a cancelled licence of the ration shop located in Sant Nagar area in Burari,
