Shunglu Committee submits report

Sources said that the Lt Governor’s office will examine the three-member committee’s report and take a final call  accordingly on all files pertaining to decisions taken by the Kejriwal government since it was formed. “Committee has submitted its report in a sealed envelope. LG office will now examine the report and thereafter, Lt Governor will take the final decision,” they said. 

The committee’s report may trigger a fresh round of tussle between the city administration and LG’s office as the AAP government claimed that it has taken all its decisions as per laid down rules and termed the committee as illegal. 

In October, Jung had given the committee a six-week extension and rejected city government’s request to dissolve the panel, saying that the ‘truth hidden behind these files’ must come out. Also, Jung had wondered why the AAP government was ‘afraid’ of the truth coming out if everything, as claimed by AAP ministers, is as per rules. 

The committee’s tenure was to end on December 2. It was examining any ‘irregularities’ and ‘infirmities’ in the files of the Delhi government. Jung had formed the committee chaired by former CAG V K Shunglu on August 30.
