Demolition drive: Delhi Cong to approach Centre
Congress in Delhi on Sunday decided to approach the Centre to find an amicable solution to the demolition drive in Delhi.
NEW DELHI: Congress in Delhi on Sunday decided to approach the Centre to find an amicable solution to the demolition drive currently underway in the capital to remove illegal constructions on orders of the Delhi High Court.
This was decided at a meeting of party Lok Sabha MPs from the capital called by Pradesh Congress president Ram Babu Sharma.
"We will be meeting Union Urban Development Minister S Jaipal Reddy and Lt Governor BL Joshi to convey our concern over the issue.
A strategy will have to be devised to find a solution," Pradesh Congress chief Ram Babu Sharma said after the meeting.
Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit is also meeting Reddy on Sunday evening to raise the issue. Dikshit was also invited to the meeting, but she did not attend citing official preoccupation...
MPs Sajjan Kumar, Jagdish Tytler, Anita Tirath and Delhi Mayor Satbir Singh attended the meeting which came a day after MCD began its drive to raze over 18,000 unauthorized constructions in the capital.
Three other MPs, Kapil Sibal, Ajay Maken and Sandeep Dikshit, did not turn up for the meeting. Maken and Sibal had informed in advance their inability to attend the meeting but there was no word from Sandeep, Sharma said.
Asked why the state unit and the party government were meeting Reddy seperately, he said, "organisation has a different way of appraoch to solve the problem."
