AAP To Hold 'Maha Rally' On June 11 Against Centre's 'Black' Ordinance Amid Services Row
The ordinance shows that the Centre will impose “dictatorial decisions” like this on the country, AAP’s Delhi convenor Gopal Rai said during a press conference.
The Aam Aadmi Party will hold a ‘maha rally’ on June 11 against the Centre’s “black ordinance” that gave back the power of transfer posting of officers to the Delhi Lieutenant Governor, negating a Supreme Court order in favour of the Kejriwal dispensation. At a press conference, AAP’s Delhi convenor Gopal Rai appealed to the people to join the rally at Ramlila Maidan, as per a report by PTI.
"This black ordinance has made it clear that the BJP-led Centre will impose dictatorial decisions like this on the country. Therefore, the AAP has decided to launch a campaign against it along with the people of Delhi.
"On June 11, the people of Delhi will gather for a 'maha rally' at Ramlila Maidan against this ordinance," he said.

On May 19, the Centre promulgated the ordinance to create a National Capital Civil Service Authority for transfer of IAS and DANICS cadre officers and disciplinary proceedings against them.
The ordinance came a week after the apex court ruled in the favour of AAP-led Delhi government by handing over the control of services, excluding those related to police, public order and land to it.
