New Delhi (IANS) | Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Tuesday said he would tour the entire country against the ordinance brought in to take away services in the national capital from the control of the state government. Kejriwal tweeted and said, from today I am going across the country for the rights of the people of Delhi. The Supreme Court passed the order after years and did justice to the people of Delhi, giving them their rights. But the central government took away all those rights by bringing an ordinance. When this law comes to the Rajya Sabha, it should not be allowed to be passed under any circumstances. Will meet presidents of all political parties and seek their support.
After meeting Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Yadav on Sunday, Kejriwal had said that he would meet West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee.
On Monday, the Congress also said that it has not taken any decision on the issue of the ordinance brought against the Supreme Court verdict and said it will consult its state units and other like-minded parties.
The Central Government has brought an ordinance to set up a permanent authority to be known as the National Capital Civil Services Authority which will be headed by the Chief Secretary of Delhi along with the Chief Minister of Delhi. This authority will recommend to Delhi LG in transfer posting and other relevant matters. However, the decision of LG will be final.
