Arvind Kejriwal slams BJP, Modi over Kashmir pull out

New Delhi, June 19 (IBNS): Attacking the Bharatiya Janata Party over pulling out from the Jammu and Kashmir government, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Tuesday said he will not allow his national capital to suffer due to the 'dirty politics' of the Narendra Modi-led Central government.

" 3 years lost in the valley,3 years that saw huge civilian & army casualties,3 years later the valley is worse-off from where it stood then.This is what happens when you put politics over people. I will not allow Delhi to suffer because of dirty politics of Modi Govt," Kejriwal tweeted.

Kejriwal along with his deputy Manish Sisodia, ministers Satyendra Jain and Gopal Rai, went on a sit-in dharna outside Baijal's office-cum-residence since June 11, demanding him to direct IAS officers to end their 'strike' and approve doorstep delivery scheme of his government.

Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia, who was on a hungerstrike protest at Lt Governor's office, was taken to hospital, said Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Monday.

Earlier, Delhi minister Satyendara Jain, who has been on a hunger strike too since Tuesday in connection with the ongoing tussle between the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government and Lieutenant Governor Anil Baijal, has been hospitalised after his health condition deteriorated on Sunday.

Meanwhile, questioning the validity of the ruling Aam Aadmi Party's sit-in dharna outside Lieutenant-Governor Anil Baijal's office, the Delhi High Court on Monday said such an agitation cannot be held at someone's office or house.

“Thing is that you’re sitting on a dharna. Who authorized them to sit on a dharna like this?” questioned the High Court.

“This can’t be called a strike. You can’t go inside someone’s office or house and hold a strike there,” said the court.

The observation by a bench of Justices A K Chawla and Navin Chawla came during the hearing of two petitions, one against the sit-in by Kejriwal and the others against the alleged strike by the IAS officers of Delhi government.
