Assembly of Aam Aadmi Party-ruled Delhi has passed a resolution against the appointment of former CBI officer Rakesh Asthana as the Delhi Police Commissioner. The resolution has sought a reversal of the appointment from the Union Home Ministry, which controls the Delhi Police. Asthana got the appointment on July 27, just three days before he was to retire. Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal said, “I think the appointment of Rakesh Asthana is against the order of the Supreme Court. It is the duty of the Central Government to obey the orders of the Supreme Court and make appointments accordingly.” Congress has also slammed the appointment, saying it is in "direct contravention" of a Supreme Court judgment and questioned if any "quid pro quo" was involved in it. At a meeting of the panel, headed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, to select the CBI chief, Chief Justice NV Ramana reportedly cited a Supreme Court decision that officers with less than six months left in service should not be considered for police chief posts. This ruled out Asthana, who was to retire on July 31. Watch the video to know more.
