Delhi Assembly Speaker criticises L-G, throws out BJP MLA from House

New Delhi, May 26 (IBNS): The emergency session of the Delhi Assembly witnessed several unruly scenes on Tuesday, which was its first day, as a BJP MLA was thrown out of the House after he and two others MLAs protested against Speaker Ram Niwas Goel's criticism of Lieutenant Governor Najeeb Jung and an alleged statement by Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MLA Alka Lamba.

The Speaker in fact called marshals to throw out BJP MLA Om Prakash Sharma out of the House.

Chaos broke out in the Assembly when the Speaker said that he was breaking convention to criticize L-G's silence.

The two-day session has been called for the government to deliberate over the Central government's notification to give absolute powers to the Lieutenant Governor of the national capital in case of appointment of bureaucrats and regarding issues connected to the police and public order, reports said.

The power struggle between Delhi's two top men began soon after Jung decided to promote IAS officer Shakuntala Gamlin as acting Chief Secretary of Delhi, without consulting the Chief Minister.

Kejriwal retaliated by removing the officer who signed off on the Lieutenant Governor's order while principal Secretary Anindo Majumdar was locked out of his office on last Monday.

Both Arvind Kejriwal and the Lieutenant Governor met President Pranab Mukherjee on Tuesday and accused each other of violating the Constitution.

Meanwhile, the Arvind Kejriwal Government in Delhi has transferred nine bureaucrats, a day after the Delhi High Court described as 'suspect' a notification issued by the centre marking out a limited area of operation for the Chief Minister.

Kejriwal, who has been in combat with the central government over his powers, said the verdict is a "huge embarrassment" for the centre.
