The AAP national convener added that his party would take the issue to the streets and organize a “Maha rally” within days. He said he would personally inform Delhi residents that their democratic rights were “taken away” by the Bharatiya Janata Party-led central government.
“This ordinance is a direct challenge to the dignity and power of the Supreme Court,” Kejriwal said at a press conference. “The Center submitted an ordinance overturning the SC verdict on the services issue just hours after the Supreme Court closed for vacation.
“This is an insult and a disrespect to the Supreme Court. Every time the Supreme Court issues a judgment against the Center, the Supreme Court will overturn it,” he said.

Attack on the Federal Machinery: Keziriwal
CM Arvind Kejriwal On Saturday, the center claimed it was attacking the country’s federal structure by interfering with the functioning of the elected government.
He also questioned why he appealed to the Supreme Court for review if the government would submit the ordinance. “Will this ordinance only be in effect until the Supreme Court goes on holiday? We have already submitted an ordinance to annull the judgment, so is it necessary to review the SC’s judgment?” Keziriwal asked. .
“The Supreme Court entered summer vacation on Friday evening and submitted this ordinance at night.The SC verdict was handed down on May 11. Why did not the ordinance be submitted at that time?” They argued that LG deliberately held back the government’s decision to relocate bureaucrats while waiting for the ordinance to be promulgated.
“This is a vulgar joke and a slap in the face to the people of Delhi,” said Kejriwal.

It’s working. ”
But Delhi BJP leader Virendra Sakhdeva argued that the AAP government was trying to project the ordinance as “unconstitutional” because it enjoys “dictatorial power” and wants to curb corruption allegations against its ministers. “Elections are important in a democracy, but an elected government must function according to constitutional arrangements. The Supreme Court, in a May 11 order, clarified that the Center could make laws if it wanted to change the system. The central government has clarified certain points in the form of ordinances, but the AAP is embarrassed,” Sakdeva said.
