In a continuing escalation of political tensions, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) continues to give derogatory statements to Delhi LG VK Saxena following the issuance of prohibitory orders by the Delhi Police. On Tuesday, AAP leader and Delhi Minister Saurabh Bharadwaj criticized the Delhi LG’s decision to enforce a six-day ban on gatherings, calling it a “Tughlaqi Farman” and alleging that it targets the celebration of Hindu festivals.
Controversy Over Prohibitory Order
The prohibitory order, issued on Monday by the Delhi Police under the leadership of the Lieutenant Governor (LG), restricts gatherings of five or more people in key areas of the city for six days. The decision, according to the police, was based on concerns about maintaining law and order during the festive season. However, AAP has accused the LG of deliberately trying to disrupt the celebrations of Hindu festivals like Navratri and Durga Puja, which are set to begin on October 3.
Saurabh Bharadwaj, one of the prominent leaders of AAP, expressed strong objections, accusing LG Saxena of imposing the order to create a “curfew-like” situation in Delhi. “From October 3, Navratri will begin, and people will go out for shopping, ‘Jagran’ will be organized, temples will be visited, and events like Durga Puja, Dandiya, and Ram Leela will be held. Why does the LG want to stop Hindus from celebrating their festivals?” Bharadwaj questioned.
AAP Demands Resignation of Delhi LG
The situation has become even more tense, with Bharadwaj calling for LG Saxena’s resignation. He criticized the LG for what he described as an “irresponsible and laughable” decision, stating that the prohibitory order will only serve to harass the people of Delhi. “This order is laughable and irresponsible; it has been issued to ban the festivals of Hindus, create chaos, and harass Delhi people,” Bharadwaj said.
He further argued that if elections could be safely held in places like Haryana and Jammu & Kashmir, there was no valid reason to curtail festival celebrations in Delhi. The AAP leader’s statements have fueled public debate over the role of the LG in managing the city’s law and order, especially during culturally significant periods.
Political Backlash and Allegations
AAP’s statements accusing the Delhi LG of undermining Hindu festivals have further strained relations between the state government and the LG’s office. Bharadwaj’s comments that AAP continues to give derogatory statements to Delhi LG over his handling of law and order echo a broader discontent within the party. AAP has repeatedly questioned the LG’s authority and accused him of prioritizing political objectives over the well-being of the city’s residents.
In his remarks, Bharadwaj also suggested that even leaders from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) are not safe in Delhi, referring to an extortion message a BJP leader in Uttam Nagar allegedly received on Monday night. “Even the BJP leaders are not safe in the city. Does this show that the LG is capable of handling Delhi’s law and order?” he asked, further intensifying his criticism.
Prohibitory Orders and Public Reaction
The decision to issue prohibitory orders has been met with mixed reactions. While some residents agree that maintaining law and order during the festive season is critical, others feel that the restrictions are overly harsh and unnecessary. Bharadwaj’s comments that AAP continues to give derogatory statements to Delhi LG have gained traction among citizens who view the prohibitory order as an infringement on their right to celebrate religious festivals.
The LG’s office, however, has defended the decision, stating that the prohibitory orders are precautionary measures aimed at preventing any potential disturbances during a period of heightened public activity. The Delhi Police also cited intelligence reports suggesting the possibility of unrest, making it necessary to implement restrictions to ensure public safety.
AAP vs. LG: An Ongoing Power Struggle
The clash between AAP and the Delhi LG is part of a broader political struggle that has been ongoing for years. AAP has frequently criticized the central government-appointed LG for what they see as interference in the governance of Delhi. In particular, the party has accused the LG of overstepping his constitutional role and undermining the decisions of the elected government.
The latest controversy highlights how the AAP continues to give derogatory statements to Delhi LG, questioning his ability to govern effectively. Bharadwaj’s demand for the LG’s resignation signals a deepening rift that is likely to extend beyond this incident.
Conclusion
As AAP continues to give derogatory statements to Delhi LG, the political tensions between the Delhi government and the Lieutenant Governor’s office show no signs of abating. The prohibitory order has not only sparked concerns about law and order but also intensified the ongoing power struggle in the capital. With festival season approaching and public sentiment divided, the situation remains sensitive as both sides brace for further political clashes.
