AAP demands L-G's resignation over Delhi's 'deteriorating' law-and-order situation

New Delhi, Sep 9 (PTI) The Aam Aadmi Party on Monday demanded the resignation of Delhi Lieutenant Governor V K Saxena over the "deteriorating" law-and-order situation in the national capital.

There was no immediate reaction from the L-G office.

At a press conference, AAP chief national spokesperson Priyanka Kakkar said there was an incident of firing outside a club in Seemapuri in the early hours of Saturday.

"There have been incidents earlier too. A senior citizen was murdered in Jangpura in a robbery bid. A jewellery store was burgled in Jangpura. The law-and-order situation under the BJP-led Centre and the L-G is deteriorating," she charged.

Kakkar claimed the law-and-order situation in states governed by the BJP is in a bad condition.

"Law and order in Delhi comes under the Centre and L-G. In such a situation, does he (V K Saxena) have a right to continue in his post? He should resign," she said.

The AAP leader also accused the L-G of interfering in the work of the Delhi government and questioned the steps taken by him for police reforms. PTI SLB NSD NSD
