New Delhi: Aam Aadmi Party (AAP)
government may have finally called it quits a couple of days back, but
not before clearing way to open investigation against former Chief
Minister of the state Sheila Dixit.
Shiela Dixit led Congress government in Delhi was accused of
diverting government funds towards the party activities in the 2008
state elections. Lower court had ordered filing of an FIR against her in
August, 2013.
However, the incumbent Congress government challenged the decision in the high court.
The AAP government has now demanded a withdrawl of the same
petition, saying the Delhi government won’t fight the case on behalf of
Shiela Dixit. The decision also got a nod from the Lt. Governor.
High Court would pronounce its decision on the given petition on 18 February.
Dixit already stands as an accused in the 2010 Commonwealth Games
scam as the alleged embezzlement of tax payer’s money occurred during
her stint as state’s chief minister.
