Ministers insensitive, skip meetings called by Saxena to discuss matters, says letter

No-show cabinet: L-G writes to MHA

THE office of the Lieutenant Governor (L-G), in a letter addressed to the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA), expressed dissapointment over ministers refusing to attend a meeting called by L-G VK Saxena to discuss the functioning of respective ministries following the arrest of Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, saying the action of the cabinet showed "insensitivity and lack of seriousness".

In its letter to the Union home secretary, the Secretariat of the L-G said such a consultation (meeting) was necessary "so that routine works of governance are not hampered" in the backdrop of Kejriwal's detention but the ministers declined his invite on the "specious ground" that the Model Code of Conduct (MCC) was in force.
