There is a recent judgement of Delhi High court and Najeeb Jung said in an interview that ACB Delhi cannot file cases against Central Government Employees.
- Who can appoint Civil offficers in Delhi?
Interviewer :"Who has the power to appoint chief secretary etc, the Delhi CM or You?"
Najeeb Jung at 2:23 ---> "Prior to 1 and a half years, we were use to "suggest a panel" to the ministers, but now we do not feel the need and appoint directly "
Observe: So previously LG used to provide a list of officers and government/minister could choose from them. Now LG wants to appoint directly.
Why? Why such dictator attitude? Why not let Delhi government choose which officer they want?
Conclusion: Najeeb jung is certainly NOT CONSULTING with Delhi govt NOW. Which he himself said that previously used to happen. (These are his own words) Is this NOT A CLEAR case of vendetta! - ACB's Functioning effectively?
at 2:23 in the interview video
Mr Jung's CLAIM : ACB exists and working effectively.
COUNTER Fact:- When Kejriwal was controlling ACB, more than 100 cases were filed.
- Now ever since ACB was hijacked hardly 10 cases are filed. in over 6 months.
- Delhi Govt has sent more than 50 cases along with proof but not a single case has been filed by ACB for those.
Conclusion : ACB is NOW hijacked and reduced to a non-functioning dummy body. Only to protect all central ministers/officers. Esp BJP's own and even Sheila Dixit! Its not only a waste of taxpayer's money but also increasing corruption in Delhi. - Claim: Delhi CM cannot set up Commission of Enquiry
Jung said that Delhi government does not have power to set up commission of enquiry.
FACT:
Here is a screenshot when
Sheila Dixit had set up a Commission of Enquiry to probe child abuse in February 2012:
And
Again Sheila Dixit and Delhi government set up a commission of enquiry in 2011
Quote from above newspaper article:
"71 people were killed — on Monday deposed before the Delhi government-appointed Commission of Enquiry (CoI) headed by retired High Court judge Lokeshwar Prasad."
Conclusion:Do I need to say anything again? If Delhi CM could set up enquiry in 2011, 2004 then why not now? - Mr Jung Claims : ACB cannot File Cases against central government employees
Again this is complete farce if you check history
Here is as an example of case filed by ACB against employees of departments that come under central government:
ACB files chargesheet in AIIMS (which comes under Ministry of health )
If you go through more case history, you can find even more cases where ACB Delhi acted against departments of central government employees.
More interesting observations
Is Delhi a UT?
The biggest difference between a usual union territory and Delhi is Delhi has its own ACT National Capital Territory of Delhi Act, 1991
It will be foolish to say that Delhi is a UT. Here are some of the reason it can't be a UT:
- Delhi population is HUGE!
Delhi is home to 1.5 crore people. That's equal to population of many states! not just cities! Such a high population needs specialized governance and not usual UT thing. - Delhi size is not of a UT
Delhi's size is humongous if you compare it with usual UTs.
There's a reason why NCT act was formed and a council of ministers were appointed in 1991.
The reason is simple,
Delhi is ever growing in size and in population. If Delhi CM's role was limited to roads, education and health on smaller level. Then these could have addressed by just having a Mayor or municipal corporation.
Delhi due to its size and population demands more work. It has more problems which needs to be addressed by a bigger team of representatives of people! MP's won't suffice!
Delhi has 8 Member of parliament. Other states hardly have 1. And None of Union territories have more than 1.
THIS IS PRECISELY WHY NCT of Delhi act was brought in 1991! - Delhi is more than a city with satellite towns
Think about is, Delhi has many satellite towns like Mehrauli. Is it not good that Mehrauli residents get an elected representative who has control over Delhi police to address local issues? Central government is in place for international issues.
I wonder if home minister of India will have the time and priority to check out what's happening in Burari, Lado sarai, Mehrauli vs what's happening at china border?
Delhi being capital, of course the central government can deploy army/special commando forces to work with Delhi police. But not having any security police for local Delhi ites is a sad state of affair which needs to be addressed.
Delhi needs attention and specialised treatment. It is a complex city with several problems and law and order issues. MCD and Delhi police is ranked top in corruption cases in recent history.
It is awkward that Mr Najeeb Jung is behaving like a dictator by not consulting the counsel of minister and stating facts which are proven wrong, out in open! By not consulting or taking advice from CM is Najeeb Jung not violating the constitution?
Delhi is more than UT is explained by simple fact that Delhi has 7 MPs (Member of Parliament)while many states have only 1. A state like Goa has only 2. So Delhi definitely needs more work than these states. And No other UT has more than 1 MP.
So it is utterly "laughable" to call Delhi a UT! Delhi is far from UT, more complex, bigger, larger in space and number! Delhi people are facing a lot of problems. And central government is following the orthodox vendetta politics of worst order.
I think i will end my article here.
I request every Indian citizen to respect the spirit of constitution. In a democracy people's power is supreme and NOT OF A CIVIL SERVICE OFFICER! No matter which political party you support, let us not kill the spirit of democracy!
