New Delhi: Deputy Chairman of Delhi Minister Manish Sisodia on Saturday wrote to Delhi Lieutenant Governor Anil Baijal, urging him not to make decisions about the Purview of the Delhi government.
This happened amid deadlock between the Delhi Government of the LED AADMI Party and L-G which was appointed with the center to appoint a special prosecutor in cases related to the farmer tractor rally on the Republican Day and 2020 Riot Delhi northeast.
In his letter, Sisodia refused that L-G had chaired a meeting with different officials from the Delhi government department and instructed them without telling the ministers concerned.
“This has also arrived at my notification that officials at the L-G office suppressed Delhi government officials to comply with direction instructions issued by L-G,” reading Sisodia’s letter.
“I thought several times before writing this letter to you, but this is not about personal relationships but about democratic protection.
If the designated center will go beyond the selected government and start making decisions about each subject, then the democratic system that we have obtained through The battle for years will be destroyed, “he said.
Sisodia said it was not mentioned anywhere in the constitution that the designated center-G would call a meeting and forward arbitrary decisions and force officials to obey direction in subjects that immediately fell under the elected government.
“The constitution allows you to make a decision on three subjects – police, land and public order and apart from these three subjects, the government is selected free to make its own decisions.
Being the LG of the National Capital, you have veto power to be different from the decisions taken by The government was elected, “the letter is read.
Sisodia cites the Supreme Court’s order on July 4, 2018, “The Governor of Lieutenant NCT from Delhi is bound by assistance and suggestions from the Council of Minister and this position valid as long as the Governor of Lieutenant does not use his strength.
Under the provisions for the Clause (4) Article 239AA.
Lieutenant Governor has not been entrusted with the strength of independent decision making.
He must act on the ‘Assistance and Suggestions’ of the Ministers’ Council or he is bound to apply the decision taken by the President on the reference made by him.
