News 18Delhi High Court rejected on Thursday a plea seeking to remove Arvind Kejriwal as Chief Minister. The High Court bench comprising Acting Chief Justice Manmohan and Justice Manmeet Pritam Singh Arora clarified that it won’t enter the political gimmick. The plea also sought direction to investigate how AAP supremo Arvind Kejriwal, who is operating as Chief Minister of Delhi from jail, is passing orders from ED custody. Petitioner Surjit Singh Yadav, who filed a PIL against Arvind Kejriwal in the Delhi High Court, said “The Public interest litigation that has been filed in the Delhi High Court has many aspects, first is of secrecy, second is when he won’t be able to take cabinet meeting, for instance – last time due to Yamuna flood, cabinet meeting was held and decisions were taken, that cannot happen; third- in Delhi, CM accords report to Delhi L-G regarding every department’s work that cannot happen as well…” “It’s not possible to hold the responsibility of a CM and work from jail as a CM…In PIL, we have mentioned that his CM position should be removed and as a CM the monthly salary that he gets is higher than an MLA, so if he is not able to work as a CM then the money given to him is not valid…,” Yadav added.
