Delhi CM Kejriwal his ministers and AAP leaders have staged 30 hours dharna at Rail Bhavan in New Delhi two days ago demanding disciplinary action against five police officers for failing to do their duties. Kejriwal has called off his dharna only after home ministry asked the two police officials to go on leave until the judicial inquiry is completed. But, the other day a case was filed against him and his leaders for violating the curfew orders and disrupting peace.
A Supreme Court bench comprising justices R M Lodha and Shiva Kirti Singh has summoned Delhi Police Commissioner B S Bassi and asked him to explain why the police have allowed Kejriwal and his team to stage dharna at Rail Bhavan, despite imposing curfew orders.
The bench also served notices to Centre and to Delhi Government asking to submit their explanation within six weeks on whether constitutional post holder can resort to agitation in violation of law.
Simultaneously another case also slapped against his law minister Somanath Bharathi, who lead a team of AAP workers and conducted raid on an African family around midnight two days before staging dharna. The African woman lodged a complaint with police but they do not bother to file FIR against the minister and his followers. Therefore, she moves the court complaining against the police for their inaction. The court summoned the station house officer and asked him why he fails to react to complaint lodged by the African woman. It also orders him to file FIR against the minister immediately.
Apart from these cases, state women’s panel also initiated a probe into Samanath Bharathi’s controversial action against the African woman. It summoned him to give his explanation but he didn’t turned-up. So, Barkha Singh, who heads the commission, said if he didn’t turned-up before Monday, we will complain about the matter to Lt. Governor. Hence, it appears AAP made a self-goal, while trying to grab people and media focus.
