AAP To Seek Opposition Support Against Centre's 'Dictatorial' Ordinance: Bhagwant Mann

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.
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.
Speaking to reporters after flagging off 98 emergency response vehicles for Punjab Police here, Mr Mann hit out at the Union government for bringing a 'tanashahi' (dictatorial) Ordinance and accused it of allegedly interfering in the rights of states.
He said the Aam Aadmi Party will travel throughout the country to seek support from political parties on the matter.
