Indian Express: New Delhi: Wednesday,
August 10, 2016.
Chief
Minister Arvind Kejriwal has not called a single meeting with concerned
authorities regarding women safety and law and order situation since coming to
power the second time in the national capital, a state BJP leader claimed on
Wednesday referring to a response to RTI.
The reply
came in the response to the RTI application filed by Delhi BJP leader Harish
Khurana.
As per the
application the response was from Chief Minister’s office, Delhi Police
Commissioner Alok Kumar Verma and Lieutenant Governor Najeeb Jung.
The RTI filed
by Khurana was from the period of February 14, 2015, to June 9, 2016, seeking
details of the meetings called by Kejriwal on the law and order and women
security stated that no such details are available within the records of the
Delhi Government.
Referring to
the RTI response which he received from the respective offices after Kejriwal
took charge as the Chief Minister on February 14, 2015, Khurana claimed that
Kejriwal never met Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh, Union Home Secretary
Rajiv Mehrishi, or Lieutenant Governor Najeeb Jung on this particular issue.
The Chief
Minister’s office in its reply on July 6 said, “The information sought is not
compiled and hence, not available on record.”
The
Lieutenant Governor Jung’s office also refused to provide any details of the
meeting with Kejriwal on the issue of women security and law and order, saying:
“The information sought attracts various provisions of exemptions from the
disclosure of information under the RTI act.”
However, the
reply also says the RTI seeking the particular details has been sent to the
concerned authorities’ i.e the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) and Lieutenant
Governor’s Secretariat in Delhi and Delhi Police headquarter for further
details.
