Chief secretary Anshu Prakash, who had alleged that he was assaulted by AAP MLAs at Kejriwal's residence last night, did not attend the meet.
Two major decisions were taken in the meeting which was not attended by Prakash. Instead, Acting Chief Secretary Manoj Kumar Parida attended the meeting, an official said.
When asked to comment on the alleged assault on the chief secretary by the AAP MLAs in his presence, Sisodia said the charges were "baseless and ludicrous".
He was referring to the chaos which unfolded inside the secretariat today as Delhi Environment Minister Imran Hussain was mobbed by over a hundred officials and staff following the allegations.
"Those goons of the BJP...in very protected manner, protests were orchestrated by them...Ministers and their staff were beaten up," Sisodia alleged.
Officials and staff of the Delhi government raised slogans and prevented Hussain from taking the elevator to his 6th floor office at the secretariat this afternoon. Later, police had to escort the minister to his office, sources said.
The minister later filed a complaint with the IP Estate Police Station alleging that he was assaulted.
The AAP government also released a video showing Hussain being roughed up and his APA Himanshu Singh being thrashed by a section of the agitating staff.
Hundreds of government officials gathered at the second floor of the Delhi Secretariat, demanding that an FIR be lodged against AAP MLAs who allegedly assaulted the chief secretary.
