Delhi Lieutenant Governor, Najeeb Jung today met Union Home Secretary, LC Goyal, amidst the ongoing tussle between him and the AAP government. The meeting came a day after the Delhi Assembly passed a resolution rejecting the Home Ministry notification giving absolute powers to the LG in several matters, including transfer and postings of senior bureaucrats.
The Home Ministry yesterday approached the Supreme Court challenging the Delhi High Court ruling that the May 21 notification was “suspect” and noted that the mandate of the people “must be respected by LG”.
