PM 'treating' judiciary same way he treats AAP govt: Kejriwal
(Sourced from PTI)
Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal today alleged that Prime Minister Narendra Modi was "treating judiciary" in the same way as he "treats" the AAP government, a day after the Center turned down a Supreme Court collegium proposal to elevate Justice KM Joseph to the apex court. "PM is treating judiciary in the same manner as he treats Delhi govt (sic)," Kejriwal tweeted. Here's more.
Kejriwal through his tweet apparently referred to the tussle between the Delhi government and the Centre over a host of issues, including transfer and posting of bureaucrats. Kejriwal has previously accused the Center of "creating hurdles unsparingly" in the functioning of Delhi government.
Earlier in February, Kejriwal said the Delhi government was struggling to get approval for its policies from Lieutenant Governor Anil Baijal, an appointee of the central government. Yesterday, the central government returned to the Supreme Court collegium its recommendation to elevate Uttarakhand High Court Chief Justice KM Joseph to the apex court and asked it to reconsider the proposal.
