Hours after AAP wrote to lieutenant-Governor Najeeb Jung demanding that he and the ACB chief be made “co-accused” in four cases pertaining to alleged scams during the Sheila Dikshit Government, Delhi Assembly Deputy Speaker Rakhi Birla said Jung might be summoned by Petition Committee of the House for questioning, if required. Birla, who is chairperson of the nine-member Petition Committee of Assembly, said the Committee has called its meeting tomorrow, where a decision on summoning the l-G will be taken.
An AAP functionary claimed the Committee has power to quiz the l-G. The Committee looks into complaints received from the general public. “We have called a meeting of Petition Committee on Thursday to take a decision on summoning THE l-G. We have sought legal opinion from the Government’s Standing Council and if required, the l-G will be summoned for questioning in connection with the alleged scams,” Birla, who is AAP MlA from Mangolpuri, said.
