Delhi chief secretary 'assaulted': AAP accuses Anshu Prakash of diverting attention from Nagrik Sehkari Bank fraud

New Delhi: The Aam Aadmi Party on Sunday said that Delhi Chief Secretary Anshu Prakash was trying to divert attention from the Nagrik Sehkari Bank fraud with his police complaint against two party MLAs, who allegedly assaulted the top bureaucrat two weeks back.

The committee on Sunday stated that the chief secretary “distorted” the facts in his petition filed in the Delhi High Court, challenging a breach of privilege notice served on him for non-appearance before the committee. The chief secretary on 20 February filed a police complaint against AAP MLAs — Amanatullah Khan and Prakash Jarwal — for “assaulting” him at the chief minister’s residence where he was called for an emergency meeting on 19 February night. Citing a government report, Bharadwaj said that in some branches of the bank, like in Lajpat Nagar, Non-Performing Assets had crossed 57 percent. “No Delhi government officer wants to act on this. Delhi Assembly Committee asking questions for last one year. No answers. No Accountability,” he tweeted.

In PNB scam everybody is asking why No Govt acted before to stop this loot ?

Right under Delhi Govt, there is multi-crore bank loan scam. Assembly Committee is questioning Govt, but Govt Officers don’t wanna answer.

Is Central Govt supporting another PNB scam in Delhi ?
