Omar Abdullah blocked Arvind Kejriwal’s opposition efforts to overturn the Centre’s legislation governing service control in Delhi. Kejriwal has been contacting leaders of non-BJP parties to block the Center’s plan to replace the ordinance through a Bill when it is introduced in Parliament.
On Saturday, Omar Abdullah blocked Arvind Kejriwal’s opposition efforts to overturn the Centre’s legislation governing service control in the capital after he questioned the Delhi CM’s attitude on the repeal of Article 370. Arvind Kejriwal has been engaging with several opposition figures as the AAP works to mobilize opposition to the Center’s legislation.
According to Omar Abdullah, when Article 370 was repealed, Arvind Kejriwal was nowhere to be seen. He backed the government at the time, and now he is pleading with other parties for assistance.
In an effort to block the Center’s plan to replace the ordinance through a Bill when it is introduced in Parliament, Kejriwal, the national convener of the Aam Aadmi Party, has been contacting leaders of non-BJP parties. Uddhav Thackeray, Sharad Pawar, Akhilesh Yadav, Hemant Soren, MK Stalin, Sitaram Yechury, K. Chandrashekar Rao, Mamata Banerjee, and Nitish Kumar have all been met by Kejriwal thus far.
What is this regulation?
The AAP administration referred to the Centre’s ordinance, which was issued on May 19 and established a body to supervise the transfer and posting of Group-A officials in Delhi, as a deceit in light of the Supreme Court’s decision regarding control of services. The ordinance was passed a week after the Supreme Court gave Delhi’s elected government jurisdiction over all services except for police, public safety, and land. In order to remove Group-A officials from the DANICS cadre and to conduct disciplinary actions against them, it proposes to establish a National Capital Civil Service Authority. Before the top court’s ruling on May 11, all Delhi government personnel were subject to the lieutenant governor’s executive supervision when it came to transfers and postings.
