AAP to seek support of Oppn parties against Centre’s ‘dictatorial’ ordinance: Bhagwant Mann

Chandigarh: Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann on Tuesday said the AAP will seek the support of political parties against the Centre’s Ordinance on control of services in Delhi in a bid to stall it in the Rajya Sabha.

The AAP is locked in a bitter tussle with the BJP-led Centre since the Union government promulgated an Ordinance on Friday to create a National Capital Civil Service Authority which will handle the transfer of IAS and DANICS cadre officers and also matters of disciplinary proceedings against them.

The Ordinance essentially overturned a Supreme Court order last week which gave control of services, excluding those related to police, public order and land, to the elected government in Delhi.
