A day after Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal on Sunday gave a public assurance to IAS officers about their safety and security, the IAS association has said that it is ready for talks. In a statement, the association said it welcomes the statement and looks forward to concrete interventions. The statement signals a truce may be finally on the cards. Meanwhile, Delhi deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia had to be hospitalised as his ketone level rose to 7.4 as the indefinite strike at the L-G office entered the sixth day on Monday. A day earlier, Health Minister Satyendar Jain was admitted after his sugar levels dipped. Both the ministers along side Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal have been holding a sit-in at the LG office demanding that Baijal direct IAS officers to end their “strike”. They also demand that the Lt Governor approve the proposal for doorstep delivery of ration. In another development, the Delhi High Court asked the AAP government who authorised the sit-in by Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and some of his cabinet colleagues at the lieutenant governor’s office and observed that strikes are usually held outside an establishment or office and not inside. The observation by a bench of Justices A K Chawla and Navin Chawla came during the hearing of two petitions, one against the sit-in by Aam Aadmi Party leader Kejriwal and the other against the alleged strike by the IAS officers of Delhi government. “Who authorised the strike/dharna (sit-in by Kejriwal)? You are sitting inside the LG’s office. If it’s a strike, it has to be outside the office,” the court told lawyers appearing for the Delhi government in the two matters.
