It’s tareekh pe tareekh: AAP

Friday, 15 February 2019 | Staff Reporter | NEW DELHI

Using social media platform — Twitter, ruling Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) reacted bollywood style on the contentious issue of transport posting.

It’s “tareekh pe tareekh”, the AAP said on Wednesday using Bollywood actor Sunny Deol’s iconic dialogue to express unhappiness over the Supreme Court referring to a larger Bench the issue of who controls services in Delhi after hearing the matter for four years. Sharing the video of actor’s dialogue from Bollywood movie Damini on its Twitter handle AAP tagged it with a caption — “tareekh pe tareekh” (hearing after hearing) and hashtags of #DelhiVsCenter and #Services.

The dialogue “tareekh pe tareekh” has virtually become synonymous with the plight of litigants who have to wait for years for justice due to delays in the judicial process.

AAP Rajya Sabha member Sanjay Singh also shared the video on Twitter.

After the verdict, AAP’s Delhi convener Gopal Rai said, “We respect the court’s order, but four years have gone following ‘tareekh pe tareekh”....”

The AAP leader sought to know as to who should have more powers of governing the national Capital — a party (AAP) which had won 67 seats out of 70 seats or the other one which had won just three seats, a reference to the BJP.

In a jolt to the AAP dispensation, the Supreme Court on Thursday delivered a split verdict on the contentious issue of control of services in the national Capital territory between the Delhi Government and the Centre and referred the matter to a larger Bench.

 A two-judge Bench comprising Justices AK Sikri and Ashok Bhushan, however, agreed on their views on disputes pertaining to the Anti-Corruption Branch (ACB), setting up of a commission of inquiry, control over electricity boards, land revenue matters and appointment of pubic prosecutors.

The three areas in which the Delhi Government will have powers are appointment of special public prosecutors or law officers, fixing land revenue rate and power to appoint or deal with electricity commission or board.

The apex court ruled that the Delhi Anti Corruption Branch (ACB) cannot probe Central Government employees. It said the Centre has the power to appoint Enquiry Commission.
