NDTV
"Things have changed. Times have changed and there is great aggression in political parties," Najeeb Jung said. When this happens, the situation must be resolved so that the people of Delhi do not suffer.
Former Delhi's Lieutenant Governor Najeeb Jung told NDTV today that Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal deserves to be released from jail and in future, to steer clear of the friction between him and the Lieutenant Governors of Delhi, the status of Delhi itself deserves a relook. The government, he said, should re-evaluate whether Delhi would remain a Union Territory or be upgraded to a state.
"Things have changed. Times have changed and there is great aggression in political parties," he said. When this happens, the situation must be resolved so that the people of Delhi do not suffer.
"It is time to sit and look at Article 239 and decide and debate... This has to be looked at afresh rather than sitting on the 1986 Balakrishna report," he told NDTV in an exclusive interview.
