Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal had to cancel a Cabinet meeting, scheduled to deliberate on measures to control pollution, following the detention of his deputy Manish Sisodia, when he was going to meet the family of an ex-serviceman who allegedly committed suicide over the One Rank One Pension (OROP) issue.
All the Cabinet Ministers were scheduled to discuss a plan to deal with air pollution at 4pm, but the meeting had to be cancelled in view of the situation that prevailed following the suicide of the 70-year-old ex-serviceman.
Kejriwal said, “We are having to postpone the Cabinet meeting. WhyIJ Because the Centre has resorted to hooliganism.” The entire day witnessed a high drama when the Deputy CM went to meet family members of Ram Kishan Grewal at RMl Hospital and was detained by the police.
AAP volunteers later staged a protest against his detention outside Parliament Police station. In the evening, police had to detain Chief Minister Kejriwal when he was going to Connaught Place Police station, where, according to him, Grewal's son was detained.
