NEW DELHI: 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.
