New Delhi: Leader of Opposition in the Delhi Assembly, Vijender Gupta on Saturday said that Delhi police should tell why has it not questioned chief minister Arvind Kejriwal and deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia so far for the incident of assault on the Delhi chief secretary.

According to Mr Gupta, 11 AAP legislators and V.K. Jain secretary to the CM, who were present at the CM residence during the incident, have already been questioned by Delhi Police. “Delhi police should tell why is it delaying questioning of the CM and the deputy CM. The government wants to stress this matter,” claimed Mr Gupta. He demanded investigation of the case by Delhi police  without any pressure or fear from any specific quarters and take strict action after investigations. ”This meeting was convened late mind night on February 19 under a conspiracy to threaten and harass chief cecretary for his refusal to release ads in violation of guidelines issued by the Supreme Court but to mislead the people, the agenda of the meeting was stated to be matter of public importance relating to distribution of ration. Neither the Food and Supply Minister nor the Secretary of this Department was present in the meeting. Chief secretary, Anshu Prakash, also had nothing to do with this department directly,” said Mr Gupt.

Mr Gupta alleged that anarchic and chaotic behavior of AAP to destroy democratic structure must come before the people and it is clear from the government messages to the officials through the misdeeds of AAP government that they will meet this fate if they failed to perform illegal acts as per wishes of AAP leaders.

“Such incidents of violence against them will continue. As leader of opposition, I have been got attacked from AAP legislators at CM’s Residence. I also received threats for on twitter from AAP activist Dilip Kumar for which a report was lodge with Parliament Street police station. These people are assaulting officials themselves and at the same time accusing these officials for assaulting them,” Mr Gupta added.
