Friday, August 22

Dear all,

Please find enclosed the detailed statement and supporting documents released by the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) convenor and former Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal on Friday, August 22, to expose the real reasons behind the removal of whistleblower officer Mr Sanjiv Chaturvedi, as the Chief Vigilance Officer of the AIIMS.

Kejriwal’s statement along with supporting documents shows that Chaturvedi was removed for exposing corruption and not for the technical excuses being given by the central government now.

Kejriwal, at a press conference along with party leaders Manish Sisodia, Gopal Rai, Pankaj Gupta and Dilip Pandey, made public the documents which nail the lie of union health minister Dr Harshvardhan that the charge of CVO was taken away from Chaturvedi since he did not fulfil the eligibility criteria laid down by the Central Vigilance Commission for the post.

The AAP has demanded that Chaturvedi be immediately reinstated as CVO of AIIMS, the CBI should probe the entire issue of his removal and health minister Dr Harshvardhan should immediately resign failing which the Prime Minister should sack him.

The AAP is of the clear view that the victimization of anti-corruption crusader Sanjiv Chaturvedi is a litmus test for Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

The Prime Minister’s statements during the Lok Sabha election campaign and also after being sworn-in in as PM that he would adopt zero tolerance against corruption, which is more dangerous than cancer will be tested for the first time in this case.
