Delhi Lieutenant Governor Anil Baijal will meet Home Minister Rajnath Singh on Saturday evening amidst the ongoing crisis in the national capital as government officers continue to boycott meetings due to an alleged assault on Chief Secretary Anshu Prakash
According to officials, Baijal will be briefing Rajnath Singh at 5.30 pm.
The development comes a day after Delhi Police searched the residence of the Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal for CCTV footage of the alleged assault on Prakash by two AAP MLAs.
On Tuesday, the Chief Secretary had alleged that he was beaten up by two AAP MLAs Amanatullah Khan and Prakash Jarwal, in the presence of Kejriwal, on Monday night at the Chief Minister’s residence where he had been called for an emergency meeting.
Following this, bureaucrats had declared that they would not meet or talk over phone to the Chief Minister, his ministers or MLAs till Kejriwal apologises for the alleged assault.
For the past two days, Delhi government employees across the city have also been observing a five-minute silence outside their respective offices every day as a mark of protest.
