Who authorised govt to sit-in protest at Raj Niwas? asks Delhi HC on Kejriwal's 'Dharna'

The Delhi High Court gave sharp comments on the sit-in protest staged by CM Kejriwal and other AAP leaders at Lieutenant Governor's office-cum-residence, Raj Niwas, on Monday.

Delhi government’s lawyer told the High Court that the IAS officers yesterday accepted that they are not attending meetings called by ministers.  To which the High Court said : ‘Thing is that you’re sitting on a dharna. Who authorized them to sit on a dharna like this?’

Lawyer replied that it is an individual decision.

High Court then questioned, “Is it authorised”?

High Court gave a sharp remark to the government saying that they cannot enter somebody’s house and stage a sit-in forcefully. The place where the Chief Minister is protesting is in fact a part of the lieutenant Governor’s office.
