Ten News Network
Delhi, September 1, 2022: Delhi Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena will take legal action against AAP leaders, including Saurabh Bhardwaj, Atishi, Durgesh Pathak, and Jasmine Shah among others, for “highly defamatory” and “false allegations” of corruption against him.
Legal action will also be taken against Jasmine Shah, who is the vice-chairman of the Dialogue and Development Commission of Delhi, the officials added.
AAP leaders have been demanding the resignation of Saxena, while BJP lawmakers were pressing for the sacking of ministers Satyendar Jain and Manish Sisodia over alleged corruption allegations.
The Arvind Kejriwal-led party has accused Saxena of pressuring two of his subordinates to get demonetized currency notes worth ₹1,400 crores exchanged during his term as the Khadi and Village Industries Commission chairman (KVIC) in 2016.
On Monday, MLAs of both the AAP and the BJP staged an overnight protest at the assembly premises amid an ongoing war of words between the two parties on allegations of corruption.
