‘Do you want to make Delhi a CBI state?’, Pawan Khera asks BJP

Congress leader Pawan Khera, while hitting out at the Centre over Gujarat-cadre IPS officer Rakesh Asthana’s appointment as the Delhi Police Commissioner, said it was in “direct contravention” of a Supreme Court judgment.



NEW DELHI — Pawan Khera, National Spokesperson of the Congress party, on Wednesday slammed the ruling BJP government at the Centre of turning Delhi into a CBI state.



Pawan Khera, while hitting out at the Centre over Gujarat-cadre IPS officer Rakesh Asthana’s appointment as the Delhi Police Commissioner, said it was in “direct contravention” of a Supreme Court judgment and asked whether any “quid pro quo” was involved.



Mr Pawan Khera asked, “Don't you want to hire an officer in Delhi who has experience in policing? Do you want to make Delhi a CBI state? What is your intention? How do you want to misuse Delhi Police?”

He went on to say, “You made the person who was the Finance Secretary during Rafale’s time as CAG. This person did not even take the descent note of the Indian Negotiation Team on record. This is “quid pro quo”.

“Why are you imposing such an officer on Delhi by bringing such an officer from the back door? I ask you again what are you afraid of them? What secrets do you have with them that you are making him Delhi’s Police Commissioner?” he asked.

According to Pawan Khera, “Suddenly a notification comes at night. This government does all such work only around 8 o'clock in the night.”



“In your view, there is no respect of UPSC, nor any institution. You are insulting even the order of Hon'ble Supreme Court. What is your compulsion? What are you afraid of?” the Congress leader asked BJP.

Mr Pawan said that there were four days left for Rakesh Asthana’s retirement. “Last night, the Home Ministry took out an order and made him the Commissioner of Delhi Police with one year extension,” he noted.

It is pertinent to mention here that Rakesh Asthana, a senior IPS officer of the Gujarat cadre, was appointed the Commissioner of Delhi Police on Tuesday. He took charge as the Commissioner of Delhi Police on Wednesday.



A 1984-batch IPS officer, Mr Asthana had earlier served as the special director of the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI). During his stint in the CBI, he was engaged in an unsavoury spat with the then CBI Director Alok Verma with both of them levelling allegations of corruption against each other.



While clearing his appointment, the Appointments Committee of the Cabinet (ACC), headed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, approved the inter-cadre deputation from Gujarat to Arunachal Pradesh-Goa-Mizoram and Union Territory (AGMUT) cadre.

Lathi Charge: A legalised method of police brutality

"Every blow on our bodies this afternoon is like a nail driven into the coffin of British imperialism." These were the precise words of Sher-e-Punjab Lala Lajpat Rai when he got brutally " lathi-charged " by the law enforcers of Colonial India while he was protesting against the Simon Commission in October 1928.  Punjab Kesari Lajpat Rai eventually succumbed to his injuries, and his death gave off the spark for vengeance in the heart of numerous Indian revolutionaries. In December 1928, Shahid-e-Azam Bhagat Singh and his compatriot Shivam Rajguru assassinated the Lahore Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) John Saunders to avenge the murder of their mentor. "Lathi-Charge" has remained one of the most brutal and sensitive issues for Indians since the bygone days of the Indian National Movement. Thus, even after 75 years of liberation, India and her children continue to writhe under pain brought on by police brutality and paranoia. Both the Indian Penal...

Recruitment Scams and Paper Leaks in India: How the deserving youth of India is getting smothered under an obsolete system

" India is an over populous country. " This statement is hardly news to anyone, but very few of us know that the average age of an Indian is just 29 years old. Hence, India is a fairly young country with a strong demographic dividend. However, the ambitions and dreams of millions of Indians lie stranded despite their ability and competence. Each new year brings fresh new hopes for millions of aspirants. These young people have expressed their strong will by deciding to dedicate the prime of their youth to preparing for numerous government examinations. In a country where social class divisions continue to be a notable phenomenon in determining one's future, Government jobs and recruitments offer the only genuine means for attaining an egalitarian society. Today, even this little scope for upliftment gets marred under the evils of Paper leaks and Recruitment scams. The problem of the youth, in essence, is the problem of the nation, and it is high time we illustrated the gr...

On July 11th, the Honourable Supreme Court went against the Modi Government's decision by annulling Enforcement Directorate Chief Sanjay Mishra's extension. The Supreme Court bench rendered Sanjay Mishra's tenure extension illegal because it went against their previous verdict.

The Supreme Court Bench headed by Justice B. R. Gavai held that Mishra could hold on to his office up to July 31st at most, during which the Modi Government must ensure a “smooth transition in the larger public interest."  The previous judgments by the Supreme Court on the matter Back in 2021, the Modi Government had, via the Central Vigilance Commission (CVC) Act and the Delhi Special Police Establishment (DSPE) Act, made amendments to the necessary laws to safeguard the extension of the tenure...
