Hailing the Central Administrative Tribunal's (CAT) recent order on IFS officer Sanjeev Chaturvedi, Aam Aadmi Party today said it should act as an "eye-opener" for the BJP-led Centre.
The party said the Delhi government has already written to the concerned authorities to facilitate the transfer of Chaturvedi to Delhi so that he can be an "important force" in its fight against the corrupt.
"Aam Aadmi Party welcomes the decision of the Tribunal and believes that the judgement is a big booster of morale for all honest and hard working officers in the country," the party said in a statement.
The Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT) has rendered "infructuos" an order of Appointments Committee of Cabinet (ACC), headed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, for returning the proposal of changing cadre of Chaturvedi, who was also removed as the Chief Vigilance Officer of AIIMS.
"The decision of the CAT against the ACC is also the reason why Narendra Modi government has been purposely keeping institutions like CIC, CVC and many commissions including child rights commission vacant," the party charged.
