In a significant development, former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has agreed to appear before the Delhi Assembly's Privileges Committee on the controversial 'Phansi Ghar' issue. The proceedings are slated for March 6, with Kejriwal demanding that the inquiry be live-streamed for public transparency.
The controversy revolves around a section in the Delhi Assembly, inaugurated as a British-era 'Phansi Ghar' under Kejriwal's AAP government, which the opposition BJP claims was actually a tiffin room. The committee's scrutiny follows concerns raised over the authenticity of the site.
Kejriwal, along with other AAP leaders, initially faced criticism for not attending prior summons. The committee had previously recommended legislative action against them. Amid ongoing major governance challenges in the city, Kejriwal emphasizes the importance of transparency and accountability in handling this matter.
