Digital Desk: Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Monday marched through the streets of the national capital against Lieutenant Governor Vinai Kumar Saxena, whom the ruling Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) accuses of interfering with government activities. The conflict between the AAP government and LG Saxena has spilled to the streets of Delhi, with the latest flashpoint being the training of teachers in Finland. In a tweet, hitting out at the Delhi LG, Kejriwal wrote: "Delhi does not need tyranny but constitution and democracy. Our struggle for people's rights will continue." His deputy - Manish Sisodia - was seen marching alongside Kejriwal apart from other party leaders amid sloganeering.
Speaking to reporters, Delhi Chief Minister said: "Who is LG sahab to put a halt to teacher education? In response to the Delhi government proposal, we were directed to conduct a cost-benefit analysis of teacher training in Finland... Doctors' salaries in Mohalla clinics have been stopped. Is he doing at the direction of the BJP?" The Delhi Chief Minister and other AAP politicians were also spotted carrying banners and raising slogans.
Last week, Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia raised the issue of teacher training while accusing LG Saxena and the BJP of "destroying" the Delhi government's education model. A proposal for a five-day training programme for primary in-charges of Delhi government schools and teacher educators at Jyväskylä University in Finland was prepared by the State Council of Educational Research and Training (SCERT). This proposal for the training of 30 teachers was accepted by the state government and sent to the LG, who, however sent the file back, HT had earlier reported.
Although Sisodia claimed that the idea was rejected, the LG's Office stated that it was not blocked. "The LG in Finland has not rejected the request for a training program for primary-in-charges. Any claim to the contrary is false and driven by hatred, "it stated.
Meanwhile, the Delhi assembly was adjourned on Monday amid a dispute over LG Saxena's alleged remarks criticizing the Supreme Court's (SC) 2018 verdict on the power tussle between the government and the Centre.
