February 10, 2014  20:45
Refusing to budge from his decision to convene a special assembly session at a stadium, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal today rejected Lt Governor Najeeb Jung's call to revisit the decision and said paramilitary forces should be deployed at the venue if the Delhi Police feels "incompetent" to provide security.

Kejriwal said it is the prime duty of the Delhi Police to ensure safety and questioned whether Police Commissioner B S Bassi should continue in his post if he cannot provide security.

"It is the prime duty of the Delhi Police to ensure the safety of the people and if the Police Commissioner considers himself incompetent in doing so, should he continue to be in his post?" said a press statement released by the chief minister's office.
