New Delhi: On Monday, 16 January 2023, All MLAs of the ruling Aam Aadmi Party in Delhi, led by Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, marched to Delhi Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena's house soon after the state Assembly was adjourned after loud protest over Mr. Saxena's alleged interference in Delhi government's decision to send state school teachers to Finland for further training.
"It's a government elected by Delhi's people. It's Delhi taxpayers' money. For the education of Delhi only. What problem does the LG have?" he said while speaking to the media before the march. All MLAs, including Mr. Arvind Kejriwal, was seen carrying placards saying "Mr. LG, allow the teachers to go to Finland".
AAP legislator Saurabh Bhardwaj had initiated a discussion on calling attention to the motion on the issue of "Illegal and unwanted obstructions and interferences in the education of children and training of teachers".
The Assembly echoed with slogans of "let teachers go ", "allow teacher training", and "let the poor's children study properly".
Ruling AAP and opposition BJP MLAs had a verbal spat leading to the adjournment, after which Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal lashed out at Mr. Saxena, saying he has no authority to interfere in his government's functioning.
The assembly saw repeated adjournments on the first day of its three-day session and hardly 10 minutes of proceedings could be held.
