The Delhi High Court today has asked the AAP government to explain why a stadium gathering is justifiable for presenting the anti-graft Jan Lokpal Bill.

On Sunday, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said he would present his Jan Lokpal Bill to lawmakers for their review - not at the state legislature, but at a city stadium, with the public in attendance.

The city police had asked him to reconsider the venue for security reasons. Delhi's Lieutenant Governor Najeeb Jung had also implied that "the sanctity" of the legislative process could be undermined by the public session. Kejriwal dismissed both concerns.
