Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) workers on Monday protested outside the residence of union health minister Dr Harsh Vardhan over the removal of AIIMS Chief Vigilance Officer Sanjeev Chaturvedi. The protest was held at his Krishna Nagar residence in East Delhi, from where he was elected an MLA and moved out after he was elected MP from Chandni Chowk. The protesters displayed placards and posters demanding the health minister’s resignation for ‘victimising an honest officer at the behest of BJP leaders’.
The AAP said in a press statement said that the health minister is changing his stand everyday and making false statements in a desperate bid to wriggle out his unjustified decision to compromise with corruption by having shunted out a honest officer on the instructions of BJP leadership.
‘The health minister had tweeted on Friday that Chaturvedi had been twice rejected by the
CVC and that his continuation as CVO of AIIMS was irregular and indefensible. He on Saturday changed his stand from rejection to opposition by the CVC in 2012 and 2013,’ the party said.
Police deployed forces outside the minister’s residence in view of the protests.
