New Delhi: National Conference leader Omar Abdullah tweeted on Sunday that the Central government’s ordinance on transfer of bureaucrats in Delhi was a travesty, adding that it is against the spirit of ‘cooperative federalism’, reported NDTV.
Abdullah attacked Aam Aadmi Party(AAP) for not taking into account the danger when it supported removal of special status to Jammu and Kashmir under Article 370.
Responding AAP leader Raghav Chadha remarks earlier, he said ‘What has been done to Delhi is a travesty and goes against the spirit of cooperative federalism. That said Raghav, it's a shame the AAP didn't realise the danger of its actions when it happily sided with the BJP in Aug 2019.’
He further said that J& K has been reduced to a Union Territory having dismembered it, alongside people have been disefranchised for five years and added that ‘Sadly your chickens have come home to roost now’.
The Centre on Friday issued an ordinance to form a National Capital Civil Service Authority to take care of transfer of bureaucrats, which according to the report will bypass the May 11 Supreme Court order.
The apex court upheld that the Delhi government will take care of the appointment and transfer of bureaucrats aside from those for public order, police and land affairs.
