Senior bureaucrat Anindo Majumdar, slammed the Arvind Kejriwal-led AAP govt for "humiliating" him. He also asserted that he will not follow any "unconstitutional" orders. Though the Lt Governor Najeeb Jung had declared his removal "void", the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government did not allow him to resume work and had locked him out of his office on Monday. (PTI)

At a meeting of over 100 serving and retired IAS officials of the AGMUT (Arunachal Pradesh-Goa-Mizoram-Union Territories) cadre last night, Majumdar came down hard on the AAP government, accusing it of insulting dignity of senior bureaucrats. "Such incident has never happened to me. We have been humiliated. My office was locked out. It is about our honour and dignity," a source quoted Majumdar as saying in the meeting. (PTI)

Arvind Kejriwal's AAP govt bested by Delhi LG in tussle for power: </br><br> In the midst of a raging row over his powers vis-a-vis Arvind Kejriwal's Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government, Delhi LG Najeeb Jung has been given absolute powers by the Centre in appointment of bureaucrats for which he need not "consult" the chief minister. The Anti-Corruption Bureau of the Delhi government has also been barred from registering any case against officers and political functionaries of the central government. This decision is apparently aimed at preventing the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government from filing cases similar to the one against former Petroleum Minister M Veerappa Moily.
