Bir Devinder urges Governor to seek appraisal report from chief secy

“It is an exceptional matter of serious concern, which has caused immeasurable agony to self-respecting people of Punjab, which is why the whole nuance of the matter is being placed before you for your kind consideration,” said Singh. He added that, “Arvind Kejriwal neither as the National Convener of the Aam Aadmi Party nor as Delhi Chief Minister, has any locus standi to seek report card from the Chief Secretary of the State Government of Punjab. Then the question arises why the Chief Secretary VK Janjua was doing so, under whose order and under what compulsion?”

“The graceless clumsy display by the Chief Secretary of the State has certainly compromised the prestige of Punjab. The offending propriety of the Chief Secretary deserves, suitable censure with a downright message to maintain the dignity of the highest administrative office, he occupies in the state administration,” the letter added.

“I am of the humble view that when the system of governance goes off track and the Chief Secretary of the State, unwisely begin reporting to the Chief Minister of another State; that too in the full public view, particularly in the presence of his own Chief Minister, overlooking his own sense of accountability to the rules of the governance of the State, as necessitated by the Constitution of India. Then in this kind of comical situation of complete debauchery the immediate and very effective intervention of the Governor is required, as mandated by the Constitution,” he said.
