New Delhi, Feb 21 (IANS) Delhi Lieutenant Governor Anil Baijal on Wednesday submitted a report to the Home Ministry on the alleged assault on Chief Secretary Anshu Prakash by AAP MLAs.

“The Ministry has received the L-G’s report. The criminal aspect of the matter will be taken care of by Delhi Police while the Ministry will look into the administrative issues involved, if the Chief Secretary was assaulted,” a Home Ministry official said.

The Ministry had sought a report on the issue on Tuesday.

Prakash was allegedly assaulted by AAP MLAs at a meeting at Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s residence here, sparking protests on Tuesday and threats of a pen-down strike in government offices in the capital.

The ruling Aam Aadmi Party denied the allegation even as the IAS Association Secretary Manisha Saxena complained to Baijal, claiming the attack on Monday night was a “planned criminal conspiracy” against the top bureaucrat.

Participants showed exceptional determination, emphasizing unity in diversity. Despite challenging weather, they demonstrated the power of community support, highlighting the need for accessibility and inclusion in all state-level events in Goa.

Following the marathon, a gathering of differently-abled individuals, predominantly wheelchair users, convened for a celebratory lunch at Barzilla. The event, orchestrated by Mr. Shariq Khan and Mr. Zain Aftab, proprietors of Barzilla, honored the birthday of Sadaf Fatima, who also uses a wheelchair and is Mr. Shariq Khan’s wife.

 

The lunch featured esteemed guests including the Tourism Minister of Goa, MLA Rohan Khaunte of Porvorim, Social Welfare Minister Subhash Phal Desai, and the State Commissioner for Persons with Disability in Goa, Guruprasad Pawaskar.
