If the IAS Association initiates talks, we will welcome them: Sanjay Singh

New Delhi: As The Delhi High Court on Monday asked Delhi’s Aam Aadmi Party government who authorised chief minister Arvind Kejriwal’s sit-in at Lieutenant Governor Anil Baijal’s office, observing it was not a place to protest.

Aam Aadmi Party leader Sanjay Singh today said, If IAS officers and L-G give a statement that they will start attending meetings, we will end the dharna. We have tried everything, from writing letters, appealing them in Vidhan Sabha and sitting on a dharna.

Addressing the Media Sanjay Singh said, “CM Arvind Kejriwal himself has written to IAS officers yesterday, calling them family and assured them of their safety. But if IAS officers continue their strike, people of Delhi will not stay quiet as the national capital is already reeling under water scarcity and pollution.”

He further said, “We have shared over 50 letters about IAS officers skipping meetings. They themselves have admitted they skip meetings. If this isn’t a strike, what is it? If IAS officers and L-G give a statement that they will start attending meetings, we will end the dharna. We have tried everything from writing letters, appealing them in vidhan Sabha and sitting on a dharna.”

“Now the onus is on IAS officers and L-G to also take step forward in the interest of Delhi’s work. The signature campaign will begin tomorrow, and 10 lakh letters will be sent to PM Narendra Modi,” added Singh.
