Delhi CM Kejriwal issues order on functioning of Mohalla Clinics from ED’s custody


New Delhi, Mar 26 (IANS): Amid the ongoing controversy surrounding the Delhi Chief Minister’s first order issued from the custody of the ED on Sunday, another directive has been issued to the health department by CM Arvind Kejriwal on smooth functioning of the AAP's flagship Mohalla Clinics.

AAP sources confirmed that the directive pertained to the health department and it was conveyed by the Chief Minister through a memorandum to Delhi Minister, Saurabh Bharadwaj, who oversees the health portfolio.

Addressing a press conference on the directive of the CM, Health Minister Bharadwaj stated that the CM is concerned about the lack of availability of medicines and free tests in many hospitals and Mohalla Clinics.

Bharadwaj said that CM Kejriwal has emphasised that no one should suffer, even if he is in ED custody.

“He directed me to take prompt and necessary actions to ensure that medicines and tests are both free and available at hospitals and Mohalla Clinics,” said Bharadwaj.

Earlier on Sunday, CM Kejriwal had issued the first order while in the ED’s custody, directing Water Minister Atishi to resolve water and sewage issues in the national Capital.

Meanwhile, as the issue of authenticity looms on the directions issued by CM Kejriwal from ED’s custody, legal experts said that there is no permission to the CM by the court to issue orders.

“The Aam Aadmi Party is issuing these orders in the name of Arvind Kejriwal because the court has not granted permission to issue any orders to the CM due to his remand by the ED,” said Supreme Court lawyer Vineet Jindal.

“These orders are not being issued for any work but are being done for political gain, which is legally incorrect,” he said.

“Arvind Kejriwal is exaggerating his distress so that when action is taken, allegations can be levelled against the BJP,” he alleged.

CM Kejriwal, who was arrested on March 21 and subsequently remanded to ED custody until March 28 by a Delhi court, faces allegations of direct involvement in a conspiracy related to the formulation of an excise policy favouring specific individuals.

CM Kejriwal is also accused of soliciting kickbacks from liquor businessmen in exchange of favours, as claimed by the probe agency.

    May seem fiction. But, look into it objectively with the events transpired in the past. Kejriwal was at the inner circle of Anna Team during 2010s, which was setup and conspired to overthrow UPA govt. Even Modi-Shah, was placed later, as the conspirator saw an opportunity for BJP coming to it and wanted a strong face. They worked tirelessly for BJP and media played key to give big turning point. Post 2014 victory, Kejri was a threat, given he was at proximity with conspirators so silence him he got Delhi CM post. Maybe EVMs did its part even then as AAP with no grassroot workers getting 67 of 70seats was next to impossible otherwise. All other team anna guys too had their ambitions fulfilled atleast temporarily. Kejri still wanted more in coming years. So Punjab was next. But, BJP cant afford to keep the power hungry, so he got a place in jail. Where gone the objectives of Team Anna, to gutter as like every promise BJP made to country.

    Kejriwal is bathed in milk and he is non corrupt like chacha Nehru and Rajiv Gandhi… Kejriwal didn’t get any funds from Khalistanis, even if Pannu says so… Kejriwal is in jail to catch corrupt jail officials
