Physical attack on #DelhiChiefSecretary : Resign Kejriwal or people will kick you out
Delhi Chief Secretary Anshu Prakash has written a letter to DCP North over the criminal attack on him by the AAP MLAs in presence and approval of Kejriwal. .
In the letter, Prakash alleged that he was abused by MLA at Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's residence on Wednesday night. "My spectacles fell on the ground. I was in a state of shock. With difficulty I was able to leave the room and get into my official car and leave chief minister's residence," he said.
Kejriwal's office has dismissed Prakash's accusation as "bizarre and baseless". The home ministry on Thursday sought a report from Delhi Lieutenant Governor Anil Baijal on an alleged assault on the chief secretary of the city government, an official said.
Here is the full text of Prakash's letter:
OFFICE OF THE CHIEF SECRETARY, DELHI
1. Yesterday, i.e on 19.2.2018, I was informed on telephone around 8.45 pm by Advisor to Chief Minister Shri V K Jain that I have to reach CM’s Residence at 12.00 midnight to discuss with Chief Minister & Deputy Chief Minister the issue of difficulty in release of certain TV Advertisement relating to completion of 3 years of current Government in Delhi. I suggested that the meeting could be held on 20.02.2018 in the morning. However it was reiterated by Advisor to CM at 9pm and again at around 10.00 pm that the meeting has been scheduled by CM at 12 midnight. Prior to this message from Advisor to CM, the Dy. CM had also called me around 6.55 pm and had informed if the matter of release of TV advertisement is not resolved by evening, I should reach CM residence at 12.00 midnight to discuss the issue. I had already explained to Dy. CM earlier that any advertisement to be released should not be in contravention of Supreme Court guidelines.
2. Advisor to CM again called me around 11.20pm to confirm that I have left for CM’s residence for the meeting. Thereafter I left my residence in my official car and driver along with my PSO and reached CM’s residence at midnight.
3. On arrival of CM’s residence, I met Sri V K Jain advisor to CM and thereafter both of us were taken to the front room where Chief Minister (Shri Arvind Kejriwal) and deputy Chief Minister (Shri Manish Sisodia ) and around 11 MLA’s / persons were present. CM told me that persons present in the room was MLAs and they had come to ask him about Government’s publicity program on completion of three years. One of the MLAs firmly shut the door of the room. I was made to sit in between Shri Amanatullah Khan and another person/MLA on a 3-seater sofa. CM directed me to answer the MLAs and explain the reason for the delay in release of the TV campaign. I explained to them that the officers were bound by the guidelines laid down by Hon. Supreme Court and advertisement to be released must be in consonance with the said guidelines.
4. The MLAs started shouting at me and abused me while blaming me and the bureaucracy for not doing enough for publicity of the Government. One MLA, whom I can identify threatened that I will be confined in the room entire night unless I agree to release TV campaign. A threat was made that I will be implicated in false cases including under the SC/ST Act. The MLAs whom I can identify became more aggressive and abusive extending threat to my life. Then suddenly Shri Amanatullah Khan, MLA and the person/ MLA on my left side, whom I can identify, without any provocation from my side, started hitting and assaulting me and hit several blows with fists on my head and temple. My spectacles fell on the ground. I was in a state of shock. With difficulty I was able to leave the room and get into my official car and leave CM residence. At no stage did I retaliate or provoke any person in the room despite confinement, criminal intimidation by extending threat to my life, and assault by several MLAs while I was discharging my official duties.
5. I request you to take action as per law as the assault was premeditated and in conspiracy of all present with intention to criminally intimidate, cause hurt with motive to deter me from discharge of my lawful duty and compel me to follow unlawful directions. None of the persons present in the room made any effort to save me.
Support is growing for IAS officer Anshu Prakash and dissent is rising against Kejriwal and his goons.
In a statement issued through the IAS, DANICS and DASS officers Associations, the bureaucracy said it feels that the incident amounts to a “functional crisis and breakdown of governance and earnestly implore the Hon’ble Lt. Governor and the Govt. of India to take expeditious action against the perpetrators of the unfortunate incident”.
Director General of Police (DGP) of Jammu & Kashmir Shesh Paul Vaid who is a batch mate of Anshu Praksah has termed the incident as “Highly deplorable behaviour exhibited by public representatives towards the top most bureaucrat of Delhi administration.”
The letter is evident of the insult and humiliation of a senior IAS officer by the Goondas of the AAP. No surprise that the Maoist ideology bearers see their political opponents, administration and Police as their enemies. The Nation watched the falsehood of Arvind Kejriwal and his alleging styles which made the Lt General Najeeb Jung retire by continuous targeting and hounding by the AAP fractions. The cry foul of Kejriwal against PM Modi is not new and now has no takers in press or public. Now the Chief Secretary is his next victim and the manner of harassing and physically attacking style of the AAP must be taken as a serious threat for the people and the democracy. AAP and Kejriwal have shown that they are the real heirs of the immoral and prapoganda master Adolf Hitler. The question is not about Kejriwal. His political entity has a weak pillar of falsity, lies and Imposture. One can easily predict the destiny of Kejriwal’s political journey.
The attack on the senior IAS officer has triggered the sentiments of a strong opposition to Aam Adami Party’s Maoist style of functioning and abusive and negative politics. It is better for Kejriwal that he should resign now with honor, if not the people are determined to kick urban Maoist from the political arena.
