February 20, 2018 17:04

Home Minister Rajnath Singh tweeted about the issue saying, "I am deeply pained by the happenings involving the Chief Secretary of the Delhi government. The civil servants should be allowed to work with dignity and without fear".

lhi Chief Secretary Anshu Prakash was allegedly manhandled by two MLAs of the ruling Aam Aadmi Party at Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal's residence.

Prakash has accused MLA Amanatullah Khan of manhandling him in a meeting convened by Kejriwal on Monday.

The Aam Aadmi Party, in a statement, has denied the allegations.

The Aam Aadmi Party has been slammed by the opposition parties.

"It clarifies how AAP is involved in malpractices and corruption. If something good happens Kejriwal and his MLAs take credit and if it's something bad onus falls on government.

"Is tarah se haathapaai karna! Koi gundagardi hai kya? (To indulge in such fights, what hooliganism is this?)", said Sandeep Dikshit of the Congress.
