Jung, AAP spat in wide open over DCW appointment
New Delhi:Delhi Lt. Governor Najeeb Jung and the AAP government were locked in another spat on Wednesday, with Jung rejecting the city government's appointment of Swati Maliwal as the new Delhi Commission for Women (DCW) chief. In an unrelated development, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) mounted a fresh attack on Delhi Police, saying a police bus tried to run over its leader Dilip Pandey. Jung, after a meeting with AAP leaders on Wednesday evening, promised to take up Pandey's issue with Police Commissioner B.S. Bassi. Jung's office said the appointment of Maliwal, a social activist and wife of an AAP leader, was "in breach of rules and procedures" and "had no legal sanctity". The Delhi government said it acted well within its powers. Maliwal, who took charge as DCW chief on Monday, in a series of tweets said she was informed that she was not expected to come to office from Thursday. "I received a call from DCW office saying I'm not supposed to come to office from tomorrow because the LG had called and all my files were being taken back. A lock will be put at the office tomorrow," she tweeted.
