Speaking on his flip, Kejriwal mentioned that the Centre will likely be allowed to suppress the democratic rights of individuals, including that the “ordinance must be collectively defeated in Parliament.” “The Centre is creating a crisis for the Aam Aadmi Party and is preventing a duly elected government from functioning independently.” the Delhi CM mentioned.
“Despite the Supreme Court verdict in favour of the AAP government (the apex court had ruled that the control over transfer and posting of top bureaucrats in Delhi would vest with the state government), the Centre brought the ordinance,” Kejriwal stressed. He described the movement against the ordinance “like a battle for independence”.
Kejriwal together with senior AAP leaders is assembly prime Opposition social gathering leaders to shore up help in opposition to the Centre’s Ordinance on management over administrative companies in Delhi.
The Delhi CM on Thursday met Tamil Nadu CM MK Stalin in a bid to drum up help from the Opposition in opposition to the Centre’s ordinance. After the assembly, Kejriwal mentioned that he was assured that DMK will stand by AAP and the individuals of Delhi. During his assembly with Tamil Nadu in Chennai on Thursday, Kejriwal was accompanied by Bhagwant Mann, social gathering leaders Raghav Chaddha and Atishi.
Notably, Kejriwal had on May 23 launched into a nationwide tour to hunt help from the Opposition events in opposition to the Ordinance. Taking to Twitter, the Delhi CM said, “Will be meeting Tamil Nadu CM Thiru @mkstalin in Chennai tomorrow (1st June) to seek DMK’s support against Centre’s unconstitutional-undemocratic ‘Anti-Delhi’ Ordinance”.
“On June 2, I will meet the Chief Minister of Jharkhand Mr @HemantSorenJMM ji in Ranchi. Will seek their support against the ordinance passed by the Modi government against the people of Delhi,” Kejriwal had mentioned in a tweet.
The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) nationwide convenor has to date met West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, former Maharashtra CM Uddhav Thackeray, Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) supremo Sharad Pawar, Bihar CM Nitish Kumar and his deputy Tejashwi Yadav.
In a giant victory for Kejriwal, a five-judge structure bench, led by Chief Justice DY Chandrachud, dominated in favour of the Delhi authorities on May 11, giving it management over the appointment and switch of bureaucrats, excluding public order, police, and land affairs.
However, the Union authorities on May 19 introduced an ordinance to inform guidelines for the Government of National Capital Territory of Delhi (GNCTD) relating to the ‘switch posting, vigilance and different incidental issues’.
The ordinance was delivered to amend the Government of National Capital Territory of Delhi Act, 1991 and it circumvents the Supreme Court judgement within the Centre vs Delhi case.
