AAP MLA files plaint against Chief Secy for making casteist remarks

| | New Delhi

The Aam Aadmi Party's Ambedkar Nagar MLA Ajay Dutt on Tuesday filed a police complaint against Chief Secretary Anshu Prakash for making "casteist remarks" during a meeting at Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's residence here.

In the complaint, Dutt accused the top bureaucrat of "misbehaviour" on Monday night and hurling casteist remarks at him. Dutt said Prakash questioned his status when he raised the issue of residents of his constituency Ambedkar Nagar (Reserved) not getting ration items on time. He said similar verbal attacks were made against another AAP MLA Prakash Jarwal. "He said you be within your limits... you have no right to question me. He used abusive language and moved out of the room," Dutt wrote in the complaint.
